  Scatter Chart symbol increases in size with quantity...
Posted by Chuck on May-15-2020 09:54
Peter,

I want to use a Scatter Chart overlay to my OHLC 1 Minute Chart... is there any built-in functionality for multiple Scatter points (within an X/Y radius) to be summed instead by a single (proportionally larger) single point - that represents the multiple points?

For instance, given any 1 Minute Bar... if there are 3 Scatter points within a given price range, for a single bar (the x/y radius I refer to above) and instead of drawing the 3 Scatter symbols (that will potentially overlap and be hard to visually know the actual number of points) is there anything built-in to instead, using the above scenario, to draw 1 Scatter symbol of a larger size (representing the 3 points)?

On the chance that this may not be built in, can you suggest a way to accomplish this in VB.NET?

(You have always been very helpful, thank you!)

Chuck

Hi Chuck,

There is no built-in feature that to sum multiple scatter points.

You can use your code to check if multiple scatter points are too close, and then replace them with a bigger point. That means the points can be of different sizes, and it is a bubble chart. See:
