Show 2 graphs during backtest?

[brooksrimes]

I'm running the Strategy Analyzer doing a backtest with multiple time frames. After a backtest, you can click on the 'Chart' tab to see your trades on the chart of the symbol. Is it possible to show a 2nd chart window with the 2nd timeframe so I can check that the indicators are working correctly?

If not, can you suggest any workaround or other solution?

Thx.

Hello brooksrimes,

It's not possible to add a second series to the strategy analyzer chart. You consider plotting a value as an indicator and then you would see it here.
See here for strategy plot reference sample

You may also consider applying the strategy directly to a chart with two data series.

Thanks for the suggestions Ryan.

How do I apply a strategy to a chart window?

When I open a chart window, I can right click and see an option for Strategies but its grayed out (and I don't have the Chart Trader window open).

I've always had to go to the Strategy Analyzer to use a strategy. I'd like to know another way to do it.

It will be grayed out if chart Trader is enabled, as you note. It will also be grayed out if you do not have an active connection.

You can connect to the simulated data feed (File > Connect > Simulated Data feed) if you have historical, but not live data. You should then be able to apply the strategy to your chart.

Opening the connection did the trick. Thanks Ryan.
