How to display 'histogram' indicator on the chart
Hi,
I would like some help/suggestions as to how I can get histogram values for a custom indicator to show on the bottom most point of a price chart i.e. the X axis.
Very much like the 'Volume bars' that are made visible via enabling the option to view them by right click--> Settings--> Volume bars.
The important point being that it sits at the bottom of the chart with correct scaling versus the historical volume bars.
I have attached a screen shot, the area highlighted by the rectangle is what I am looking to create by using values from a custom indicator.

Thankyou

Hi, ssk1284u!
Follow this link https://dotnetfiddle.net/QYWcqH. It's a code of indicator that does same as "Volume bars" (displays Volume values) option but fully customizable:

To use some specific value just place into OnQuote() method your calculated value instead of current one:
public override void OnQuote()
{
double calcValue = 0;
// some calculations block ...
DateTime timeKey = CurrentData.Time();
values[timeKey] = calcValue;
}Good Luck!
