How do I backtest via strategy analyzer on two time frames?

[joejoeagogo]

I've got a strategy that I want to use indicators on 400 tick, and 1000 tick to make decisions on.

I want to display both indicators accurately when backtesting with strategy analyzer.

Is this possible? It seems like the indicators are screwed up when doing backtesting and don't match what they look like when applying a strategy to a chart that has multiple time frames on it.

Thanks.

Hello joejoeagogo,

You would need to add the data series with AddDataSeries() in an indicator, and then use this as the Input Series for calling the other indicator.

The indicator would need to set plot values when no value is set on higher time frames to fill in the holes.

Below is a link to an example.

Note, any host strategy that calls this indicator, also needs to add the same series with AddDataSeries() the indicator does as well.
