Hi all
This'll turn out to be a cracking little thread, methinks.
Here's a little code snippet, which displays an oscillator in the main chart window, instead of a separate window. When adding indicators which usually exist in separate windows, the chart soon becomes compressed, which I don't like. So, had a play around and came up with this. Maybe it's been thought of before, and if so, my apologies!
I've used the Stochastic oscillator as an example. It could easily be edited to display RSI, CCI, or most indicators with definable limits. The routine is far from finished, so if anyone has any suggestions, I'd gladly try to ammend/adapt/improve the code.

- On startup, two horizontal lines are painted onto the chart window. These are user-definable limit lines, for visual purposes.
- If the chart moves or is zoomed in/out, these lines will adjust their position relative to the window. So, providing there are sufficient incoming ticks, these lines will rearrange themselves.
- A loop calculates the stochastic main and signal lines for each particular bar, and paints them onto the chart, joining them up with the values for the previous bar.
That's about it, really! I hope someone finds it useful.
Cheers

) that you'd like to share with your fellow coders. Some of what goes here will likely make it into the Shell EA code, but even if it doesn't it will make it to all of our individual toolboxes.
