Hi,

Is it possible to code something like :

if(indicator on panel 2)
else if(indicator on panel 3)
else ...

?

If you are asking if you can reference more than one indicator via a study you create, the answer is yes?

It doesn't matter what is actually on your chart, you can reference ANY study that exists within your library.

Actually I have a DataSeries that I wish would change depending if you select the indicator to appear on panel 1 or panel 2, etc

Not sure if I'm being understood.

Oh ok. I'm still not sure what you want to do, but I see it wasn't what I initially thought.

Sorry ! Let me try again.

if(indicator is displayed on panel 2) plot.Set(a);
else if(indicator is displayed on panel 3) plot.Set(b);

I'm trying to find out if you can test on which chart panel the indicator has been displayed by the user.

Ok gotcha! Sorry I am not sure how you would access that information or if it is possible?

See if this helps...

Code

IndicatorBase[] indicators = ChartControl.Indicators;
foreach (Indicator i in indicators)
{
    if (i.Panel==2)
    {
        // do something here
    }
}

Thanks for your Help !
However I ca't make it seem to work.

Here's a simple try

Code

		if(Bars.FirstBarOfSession) c.Set(Close[1]); 
			else c.Set(c[1]);
			c2.Set(c[0]);
			foreach (Indicator i in indicators){
   				if(i.Panel>1) c2.Set(0);
				else{
					c2.Set(c[0]);
					if(Bars.FirstBarOfSession) PlotColors[1][0]=Color.Transparent;
					else PlotColors[1][0]=Color.Yellow;
				}
			}

When panel 1 is chosen, it's fine.
When panel 2 is chosen, it acts the same way it is coded for panel 1, that is to say previous day close instead of 0, and custom PlotColors.
It does not seem to detect panels and make a difference.

Also, AutoScale is forced to be set to "true" once indicator is installed on chart while AutoScale is actually hard-coded to "false" on Initiliase{}

Any ideas ?
