Greetings,

is it possible to draw dots into charts via strategy? I read wiki, but
there are just tips how to draw horizontal, vertical lines and so on... If
yes, please could you send me the solution?

Meanwhile, I found solution, but I don't like it:

IChart chart = context.getChart(instrument);

ITextChartObject textChartObject = chart
  .getChartObjectFactory()
  .createText("bullet" + bidBar.getTime(), bidBar.getTime(), bidBar.getLow());

textChartObject.setColor(Color.BLUE);
textChartObject.setLocked(true);
textChartObject.setText("•");
textChartObject.setTooltip(Double.toString(bidBar.getLow()));
textChartObject.setVisibleInWorkspaceTree(false);

chart.add(textChartObject);

Best regards
bojno

What in particular you don't like about the solution? If you need another symbol this example contains a link to other dot-like symbols:

If you wish to draw dot according to absolute, not the chart price-time coordinates, consider using the screen label:

We think that there are enough capabilities to draw the dot from a strategy, such that one does not have to involve the indicators.
