I would like to see the trading signal (triangle graphical entry/exit) on the chart, on the alternate (setcontext) ticker. Meaning, let's say my main ticker is SPY and I would like to execute the trading on IWM. In addition to SPY I plot IWM via:

Then, when I get the buy signal I do something like:

I can see in the Trades tab that the trade was executed but I see no indication on the Chart. Is there any way to show the buy trade on the chart on the alternate symbol (IWM in this case)?

Thanks.

I just tried the code in the link. The green annotation show on the main, not secondary ticker. Code below:

Before the buy signal:

This wroks for me:
"sPane5i" is pane to plot secondary symbol.
"inverse" call for second symbol
This will draw a circle of indicated color ( which may be hard to see first but it is there). [s]Ideally, I like to see the marking to appear above/below the price;how of which I have yet to figure out. Still work in progress.[/s] Fixed.

You can use arrow function by specifying the "pane".

Harapa, thanks for the heads-up. AnnotateChart can be used as per the ActiveTrader... strategy example I pointed at earlier. Updated the Wiki FAQ.
