    Trades Plotting and Switching Periods

    After running a backtest in a one-minute Strategy Analyzer, the trades taken are plotted in the Chart tab. If I switch the view to a different time frame, these plots disappear.

    Is the reason because all drawings' anchor points are always defined by bar values, and thus switching periods would make the plots inaccurate if they did remain ? Is the finest resolution of drawings effectively "ticks" on the price axis and bars on the time axis ?

    Thanks...

    Shogun SunTzu, the reason is because a one-minute backtest would not be meaningful on a five minute chart. All the indicators would be recalculated, which means that the actual trades would need to be recalculated (if the trade conditions are based on the indicator values), which would essentially just give you what you would've got with a five minute backtest.

    With NinjaTrader 7, it wouldn't even let me change the time frame of the chart tab after the backtest.
