I want to see two symbols on the same chart window. For this purpose, I wrote the Candles indicator, which displays the candles of the source symbol. By itself, the Candles indicator works well. However, paired with the SymbolInd indicator, it should have provided the desired. However, when working with a different symbol than the main chart symbol, SymbolInd does not display candles.





Below is the indicator code.

CODE:
using WealthLab.Core; using System; using System.Drawing; using WealthLab.Indicators; namespace WealthLab.Indicators {        //the VChart indicator    public class Candles : IndicatorBase    {       //parameterless constructor       public Candles() : base()       {       }       //for code based construction       public Candles(BarHistory source, PriceComponent pc)          : base()       {                   Parameters[0].Value = source;                   Parameters[1].Value = pc;          Populate();       }       //static method       public static Candles Series(BarHistory source, PriceComponent pc)       {          string key = CacheKey("Candles", pc);          if (source.Cache.ContainsKey(key))             return (Candles)source.Cache[key];          Candles vchart = new Candles(source, pc);          source.Cache[key] = vchart;          return vchart;       }       //Name       public override string Name => "Value Chart";       //Abbreviation       public override string Abbreviation => "Candles";       //description       public override string HelpDescription => "The Value Charts indicator developed by Mark W. Helweg. Applies a volatility based detrending to the source price component.";       //pane       public override string PaneTag => "Candles";       //access price component used       public PriceComponent PriceComponent1 => Parameters[1].AsPriceComponent;       //default color       public override WLColor DefaultColor => WLColor.Red;             //default plot style       public override PlotStyle DefaultPlotStyle => PlotStyle.BarChart;       //populate       public override void Populate()       {          //get parameter values          BarHistory source = Parameters[0].AsBarHistory;          if (source == null)             return;          PriceComponent pc = Parameters[1].AsPriceComponent;          //set datetimes          DateTimes = source.DateTimes;                             switch (pc)          {             case PriceComponent.Open:                for (int n = 0; n < source.Close.Count; n++)                {                   Values[n] = source.Open[n];                }                               break;                                case PriceComponent.High:                for (int n = 0; n < source.Close.Count; n++)                {                   Values[n] = source.High[n];                }                                              break;             case PriceComponent.Low:                for (int n = 0; n < source.Close.Count; n++)                {                   Values[n] = source.Low[n];                }                               break;             case PriceComponent.Close:                for (int n = 0; n < source.Close.Count; n++)                {                   Values[n] = source.Close[n];                }                               break;             case PriceComponent.Volume:                for (int n = 0; n < source.Close.Count; n++)                {                   Values[n] = source.Volume[n];                }                               break;             default:                                break;          }       }       //generate parameters       protected override void GenerateParameters()       {          AddParameter("Source", ParameterType.BarHistory, null);                   AddParameter("Price Component", ParameterType.PriceComponent, PriceComponent.Close);       }       //get corresponding bar chart companion indicator       public override IndicatorBase GetBarChartCompanion(PriceComponent pc)       {          if (PriceComponent1 == pc)             return this;          return new Candles(Parameters[0].AsBarHistory, pc);       }    } }


Please let me know how I can achieve what I want and display two symbols on one chart. Perhaps there is a problem with the SymbolInd indicator that needs to be fixed.

That's right, it cannot plot them because the BarChart Plot Style requires that an indicator define the various OHLC components. SymbolInd does not define these so it defaults to a line plot.

That said, I made a small enhancement to SymbolInd so this will work in Build 27.
