adding indcators to a strategy pane

[tinkerz]

When I add a bollinger to the intialize area I only see the mid band, how do I add the upper and lower lines to the strategy chart window?

Add(Bollinger(1.8,50));

tinkerz, that should not be the case, if you Add() an indicator to display it would add the complete study including all plots - can you please recheck on a standalone chart with this strategy applied only?

Thanks it was me

One more thing though.

When I optimize for the period, myInput2, then add the RSI.

The chart in the optimizer shows the default time from, 30 mins, not 20mins as in the myInput2 optimization parameter.

Is this correct to do it this way?


Add(PeriodType.Minute,myInput2);
Add(RSI(Closes[1],myInput3,myInput4));

Thanks

tinkerz,

The primary series of the optimizer will be whatever is selected in the data series section. The code you posted is used for the secondary or added series.

You can optimize on the primary series though. Set optimize on data series > true and then you can set the min, max, and increment values for it.

When I use multiperiod charts in a strategy, my assumption is after you add the period type you then use closes to pick the data array.

The add is drawing the RSI the same as the default chart period, 60 mins, and not 10.

RSI(ES##-##,(60 min),4,4), where I am expecting 10mins

Where is my error?

myInput2=10; Min and Max are 10, the increment is 1

myInput3 & myInput4 are optimized

So that means my crossover code is on 60min as well

Add(PeriodType.Minute,myInput2);
Add(RSI(Closes[1],myInput3,myInput4));

CalculateOnBarClose = true;

if (BarsInProgress==0)
{
if(CrossBelow(RSI(Closes[1],myInput3,myInput4).Avg,70,1))
{
'some instruction
}
}

[tinkerz]

Its BarsArray, not closes

[tinkerz]

I still cant plot or take trades from

Add(RSI(BarsArray[1],4,4));

Is the code correct?

Thanks

To plot multiseries indicators in a strategy: The multiseries part has to be within the indicator itself. The indicator sets plots based on the added series, and then the strategy adds the indicator.
