You can only add an indicator manually for the time being. We will add functionality for robots to draw indicators in the future.

Any news for this feature?

This will greatly aid debugging if cBot is based on some indicator(s).

RE:

Hi there,

I am struggeling with the same issues.

I want to draw indicators and graphic opbjects in the chart while the cBot is active, as well as in backtesting mode.

Is it now possible while trading or in backtesting mode?

No Idea anybody how to make the cBot draw an indicator in the chart when executed?

Dear Trader,

It's still not possible to draw an indicator through a a cBot on the chart.

This feature will be available in the future. However, we cannot provide you with an ETA. Stay tuned. 

Additionally, you can post your ideas/suggestions to http://vote.spotware.com/

Still no ETA?

I'm also heavily interested in this feature as it helps a lot on debugging a bot. Is there still no ETA after 6 years?

It's a pity that there is no method to visualize indicator on the robot Chart. If if is possible to add an indicator object on the robot's chart manually using right click, it shouldn't be a big problem to do the same in the code.

But you can always draw lines on a chart using DrawTrendLine:

public static void DrawMovingAverageOnChart(Chart chart, MovingAverage ma, Color col)
{
    int lastidx = Math.Min(chart.BarsTotal, ma.Result.Count);
    for (int idx = 0; idx < lastidx; ++idx)
    {
        chart.DrawTrendLine(String.Concat("test-", idx), idx, ma.Result[idx], idx + 1 , ma.Result[idx + 1], col, 2);
    }
}
