using System;
using cAlgo.API;
using cAlgo.API.Internals;
using cAlgo.API.Indicators;
using cAlgo.Indicators;

namespace cAlgo
{
    [Indicator(IsOverlay = false, TimeZone = TimeZones.UTC, AccessRights = AccessRights.None)]
    public class Test : Indicator
    {
        [Parameter(DefaultValue = 0.0)]
        public double Parameter { get; set; }

        [Output("Main")]
        public IndicatorDataSeries Result { get; set; }


        protected override void Initialize()
        {
            // Initialize and create nested indicators
        }

        public override void Calculate(int index)
        {
            var line = Chart.DrawHorizontalLine("Test", Symbol.Bid, Colors.AliceBlue);
        }
    }
}

Build error - Error CS0117: "cAlgo.API.Chart" does not contain a definition for "DrawHorizontalLine"

The Chart is a type, but how to get an instance of a current chart?

        }

        public override void Calculate(int index)
        {
            ChartObjects.DrawHorizontalLine("Test", Symbol.Bid, Colors.AliceBlue);
        }
    }
}

Yes, ChartObjects works fine, but will there be the Chart / ChartArea interface available?
For example, to get BarsTotal, is only with Chart

and ChartArea had many methods for handling mouse events.

Hi freemangreat,

The Chart object is available in Spotware cTrader Beta 3.3. It will be rolled out to brokers soon.
