Thanks for your answer,

an 'Open V' shape is what i am trying to produce, so eg:

• If I create an indicator with a line for each 'open v' i want to show
• indicator sets the 3 values for open_v_1 line

do you know how I tell backtrader to join these 3 points and ignore all other values in that line object?

I tried to do this already, but backtrader would not draw the line unless each value in line had a value eg. 0 for the points i dont want to plot.

And, ideally if I could use 1 line object for multiple open v's, that would be nice :)

Regards

Hello,

I hope someone can help me please,

I am trying to draw groups of points [3] with lines connecting them ( a series of shapes overlayed on main chart for visual purposes).

Is there anyway to do this with backtrader?

I found some code for matplotlib to do this:

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/35363444/plotting-lines-connecting-points

Is there a way to access the actual matplotlib object for masterplot, as a last resort?

Sorry just realised this might not be right sub-forum, i tried to delete the post but cannot, if mods could move if required.

Apologies

Hello,

I'm new to backtrader but enjoying using it sofar.

I have a custom indicator which will find groups of points (3) and I want to draw these lines connected on the main plot (overlaid on main chart). There are multiple groups of these points, I would like like them drawn discretely . I have the points calculated but dont know how to draw them - has anybody done something similiar or can direct me to exmaple code?

Many thanks!
