I'm not quite certain how custom charts work exactly. How does the Plot() function know whether the values I'm charting are for minute, hour, or daily resolution? How does the Plot() function know which minute/hour/day does the value I'm adding to the series corresponds to?
Here is why I'm asking: I am trying to retroactively plot several days into the past. For example, if it is day 5 as far as the algorithm is concerned, I want the algorithm to plot data for days 1-4 on my custom chart. How would I go about achieving that?
Thanks,
Tomer

Interesting. Is there a way we can display the key trade properties, such as entry price, stoploss position, and targets? It would be very helpful to have a visual aid to see what the trade entry, stop, and target prices were against a bar chart. If a trade fails, I'd like to know why, and having the visuals on screen would be awesome. Is that even possible?

@Tomer - We now allow setting the color of lines and symbols for custom charts using the Color and ScatterMarkerSymbol property of the series. @Mark - you can tag orders with text, but on the chart there's currently no way to nicely put the information you're talking about and the charting library we use makes this difficult. You could make a custom series which simply contains information meaningful to you? E.g. Add a series "Stop Price" and each scatter point would be the price for the order.
