from EA plot ask/bid prices on current chart

New comment
 

In my EA I'd like to plot on current chart. For example I'd like to draw ask/bid price in `onTick()` function.

How should I start to achieve it?

I want to draw bid/ask using EA as this is important for me while testing strategy.

I don't need to draw chart on chart. I need to plot a point(series) on current chart (chart_id==0).

Bid ans adk prices are just examples. Let's say I want to draw only a chart with coordinates:

X = current time (in OnTick)

Y = bid-10*_Point

And I want to see them in strategy tester window.

How to draw plots?

 
Create a custom indicator, then you can access to its value(s) anytime. Its value appears in data window for easy reading.

U can also use CreateObjects function to draw objects
