Strategy Analyzer Charting Templates

[oleczek]

Hello

Is it possible to load template to Chart after finished backtest in Strategy Analyzer without losing all the markers (Buy/Sell/etc).

For example now I can add indicators manually to a Chart from Strategy Analyzer's results. But when I want to load predefined set (right click, Templates, Load) it will erase all buy-sell points and the arrows. :/

Another thing - after I saved "Default" profile for the Chart I expected I will have it loaded by default. Now I have every new Chart blank (without indicators) every time I change Instrument name.

All best,
o.

Does the chart template you are loading have 'Plot Executions' set to 'TextAndMarker' or is this disabled?

Can you clarify on your last point - are you saying you lose applied indicators when you change the instrument from an existing chart?

Re:

Hi,

I have this enabled in File -> New -> Chart

But when I access the Chart via the Tab in the Strategy Analyzer there is no such possibility (Data Series - from right mouse - is inactive).

From what I understand template settings do not apply to the Chart in Strategy Analyzer. Am I right?

Regards,
O.

Re:

My scenario is:

1) I use my Strategy by clicking right on the group, for example "Nasdaq 100"
2) selecting "Backtest"
3) select any Instrument (template of the Chart is always "blank")
4) there is an option to save new default, but when you do it it erases all markers

All best,

Hello,

Unfortunately you would not be able to configure this through the UI at this time.

You will need to have your indicators by using the Add() method in your strategy an adding the indicators you wish to plot.

Please see our Reference Sample on adding Indicators to a Strategy - http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/f...ead.php?t=3228

Sounds like a good solution.

I will try it.

Running Strategy Analyzer Optimizing Data Series

The SA does not load the correct data series for the optimized values, the does not always even display the indicators on the chart.

Is this going to be fixed, because you can't see where the trades are being taken....it is quite painful.

Thanks,

I'm not sure I'm following, or I cannot replicate.

When I optimize based on data series, and then select the individual results from the Optimizer tab, the chart matches the parameters fro that interaction.

Can you please give me a specific example where this does not match? Exact where are you checking/what steps are needed to reproduce?

[ldissinger]

When I do a walk forward test, each forward walk may have a different dataseries value, this is what does not work for me. It also does not always display the indicators on the chart or the barcolor that I have set. It always work fine on a new chart, but not in walk forward.

Thanks for bringing this to my attention. I was not aware of this behavior, but I have logged to track to improve in the next major release.

BarColor

I just did an optimization pass (not walk forward) and the indicators displayed properly on the chart, but the bar color did change and display properly.

Last issue I have with the strategy analyzer, I think.
