mlsignups Posted September 23, 2021 Report Share Posted September 23, 2021 I do swing trading and have created two indicators; one that shows me when the stock i'm looking at has outperformed the market (on a daily chart) by 1.5%, and another by 3%. If I see them both then I know the stock relative to the market had a strong day; if I see one, I know it was positive but not that strong. I'm testing whether visually seeing a number of positive signals in a cluster helps with performance over the next few weeks. Since there can be signals every 2 or 3 days I didn't want to place this near the price bars as it would get too cluttered. I also have a volume signal taking up the bottom 1/4 of the chart in the background (somewhat transparent). So i was trying to put this somewhere near the top of the price chart. I originally used the 1/4 top option. The issue is that the 1/4 of top is too long/ it overlaps the price bars and/or my chart notes. I then tried putting just a symbol in the top band but it gets' interfered with by the title of the chart. (see image) So two questions: 1. Is there a way to lower the "band on top of chart" option so it displays below the title of the chart (see picture) 2. Alternatively could you add another option to display on top 1/8th of chart or 1/10th of chart in addition to the 1/4, 1/3 etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Medved Posted September 24, 2021 Report Share Posted September 24, 2021 You can hide the indicator legends... Also - you can add those two paintbars combined on a separate top chart. Wouldn't that do what you want? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mlsignups Posted September 24, 2021 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2021 I just hid the legends as I don't use them anyway. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Medved Posted September 24, 2021 Report Share Posted September 24, 2021 Btw it is nice to see people making full use of paintbars. It is one of the most powerful features of MT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
