Plotting within strategy analyzer

[tbmuc]

Hello,

I would like to plot curves onto the chart within a strategy and cannot put the relating code into an separate indicator, because it requires some values that depends on an open trade.

It is necessary that the method works during backtesting by the strategy analyzer.

How can I handle that?

Best Regards

Thomas,

I am happy to assist you.

Here is a reference sample on plotting from a strategy : http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/f...ead.php?t=6651

As far as backtesting, I am not sure how you are using these values, however if the purpose is just to see the plot then backtesting isn't absolutely necessary. If you are constructing a dataseries within your strategy of plot values then you would already have access to it in the strategy for use in its logic in backtesting.

Please let me know if I may assist further.

Hello Adam,

thank you for your hint. I saw the document before , but there is a note, that this method is not suitable for backtesting.

I would like to display some data in order to optimize the strategy and understand some issues better. How can the data beeing plottet in the charts of the strategy analyzer?

Best Regards

Thomas,

You could use Market Replay for backtesting this. It would stream tick data in then tick-by-tick and plot just like a live connection.
