Hi, Do you have a sample indicator for a bar chart type indicator? I am trying to create one. Do you create a loop to populate the O, H, L, C. Or create a separate indicator for each one?
Rename
IndicatorBase derives from TimeSeries, so an "indicator" can only be 1 TimeSeries.... you'd need to create 4 of them.
Version 6 had a PlotSyntheticSymbol that would put 4 series together using the chart style. We'd need to add that again for v7.

All righty. Thank you
Not sure if the extra method is required. You could build a BarHistory object with your OHLC and plot it using PlotBarHistory:
CODE:
public override void Initialize(BarHistory bars) { BarHistory bh = new BarHistory("test", HistoryScale.Daily); for (int i = 0; i < bars.Count;i++) bh.Add(bars.DateTimes[i], bars.Open[i] *0.98, bars.High[i] * 1.02, bars.Low[i] * 0.97, bars.Close[i] * 0.99, 1); PlotBarHistory(bh, "TEST"); }
Nice! Good thinking. Will have to note that for the WL6 to WL7 QuickRef Conversion
I like the solution in Reply# 3 best for its simplicity; however, if you're willing to create four separate companion TimeSeries instances (Are you?) and define a GetBarChartCompanion() method (to identify these TimeSeries), then PlotStyle BarChart may be an alternative option. See PlotStyles BarChart in https://www.wealth-lab.com/Support/ExtensionApi/IndicatorLibrary
I "think" the BarChart approach is trying to emulate PlotSyntheticSymbol() from WL6 in a weird way. Both approaches have their pros and cons. The BarChart approach is definitely to be used only with an indicator design.
