Behavior of IndicatorDataSeries, DataSeries and Output regarding IsOverlay Indicator
02 Feb 2014, 10:03

I have an overlay indicator that has hidden components I use for calculation. Interestingly I cannot make them actually hidden on the chart without adversely effecting the behavior of the indicator.

Currently I create the data series like so

[Output("Hidden Series")]
        public IndicatorDataSeries xm { get; set; }

and everything works well, however this series is visible on screen. This would be forgivable if it was data around the price range, but if it is something else (a %, a bool state etc) the view is destroyed.

When taking away the Output attribute the indicator compiles with no errors,

        public IndicatorDataSeries xm;

but then displays no data. Finally making it a plain DataSeries causes a compiler error 'Error CS0200: Property or indexer 'cAlgo.API.DataSeries.this[int]' cannot be assigned to -- it is read only' leading me to my question:

How can I hide this series and still get the same results?

Apologies if this is an already answer question, I did search but couldn't find anything.

If you don't want to expose DataSeries from indicator, you don't need to use Output attribute. But in this case you need to initialize DataSeries manually using CreateDataSeries method:

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

        private IndicatorDataSeries HiddenDataSeries;

        protected override void Initialize()
        {
            HiddenDataSeries = CreateDataSeries();
        }

        {
            HiddenDataSeries = CreateDataSeries();
        }

Can I set the visibility of the indicator at runtime?.. starting visible and then hide (vice-versa)!

You can use PlotType.DiscontinuousLine
