Plotting the spread with a strategy: nothing happens

[skynetman]

You are right, the reference sample does not work either.
How can i understand why?

I suggest a clean reinstall. The sample should work. Backup your files and after you uninstall also delete My Documents\NinjaTrader 6.5. This will remove all your NinjaScripts, data, workspaces, templates, etc. When you reinstall please only install back the reference sample script. Try it then and see if it works.

Question about StrategyPlot

I have found that if I use SP to plot two identical series (for example the BarsArray[0] is the same as BarsArray[1]), the SP(BarsArray[1]) plots are shifted one full bar late from the correct SP(BarsArray[0]). Based on that, I am very hesitant to use SP for "real" strategies.

Is there any trick to make StrategyPlot behave correctly in multiple instruments or periods? See the very simple attached TEST() strategy.

Thanks!

Dr Ben,

It is very clear why this is the case. In BarsInProgress == 0, BarsInProgress 1 has not been updated yet and as such when you access Closes[1][0] you are still accessing the prior close value. There is no trick to this as StrategyPlotting comes with many limitations. NT7 will provide multi-series charting and will be the solution for these requests.
