This may be a stupid question, but how do you display buy and sell triangles on the price panel like I found on the 3x2 System strategy in the Chart Patterns folder? It doesn't seem to be configured in the strategy code and I couldn't find any chart setting either.

You're confusing something. Every strategy displays them. Although I don't know any, some may hide them using EnableTradeNotes(). Some may display them on secondary symbols artificially using code: FAQ > Is there a way to see the trades on secondary symbols?

Thanks. I was confusing something. I display the primary symbol in the chart, but I'm actually trading two secondary symbols. That explains it.

In that case, if you have the Community.Components add-in installed, you can plot the trades for secondary symbols by adding this statement at the end of your script - one statement for each symbol. Pass the string for your symbols in place of "IBM".

Thanks. How do you install the Community.Components add-in. I checked the WiKi example, but so far haven't figured it out. Also, it's not listed under Tools/Extension Manager/Addins.

Extension download capability has been enabled for my account. I've opened the Extension Manager, but can't find any sign of the Community.Components add-in?

The EM displays only already installed extensions. All extensions are to be found on our website. Notice the "Extensions" link on the Home Page that leads here:
