You can draw candles using ChartObjects.DrawLine method. Draw thin line from high to low and thick line from open to close.

Is it possible to draw ChartObjects.DrawLine ( basically creating my own OHLC ) in a bot instead of indicator ? Nothing is getting created on charts despite of me able to print the data correctly in cBot . It seems i can't use chartObjects in a cbot , is it correct ?

Dear Trader,

It's possible to draw a line in a cBot, but not when you use backtesting. ChartObjects is disabled in backtesting.

Please have a look at the following code snippet:

protected override void OnStart()
{
    var index = Source.Count;
    var price = Symbol.Bid + Symbol.PipSize;
    ChartObjects.DrawLine("line", index - 1000, price, index, price, Colors.Blue, 2, LineStyle.Solid);
}
