Description

Firstly, thank you so much for this tool! It has made my foray into financial algorithms a real joy! I am curious if there is a way to add the alines to other panels or addplots? I have RSI for instance that I would like to plot and mark up with some lines. The only way I can think of doing this at the moment is to create a second plot using the RSI value instead of the close ?

Thanks again!
Warren
