    Add second chart into view

    I have a multi-time frame strategy. For debugging purposes, how can I view the different time frame charts, instead of just the primary time frame after running the strategy in backtest? I'm guessing I need a line code involving "panel."

    Sorry this would not be easily possible, the series are only added internally for calculations and not for visualization. We have an enhancement here as request on our product development lists, I will add a vote in on your behalf as well.

      Thanks, last two questions:

      1) I'm assuming this isn't possible for indicators as well?

      2) As you may be aware, if entering with a limit order and taking profits within the same bar, NT assumes the profit target is always hit first, which can be inaccurate. I correct this by sending my limit order entries to a lower time frame. What's the most efficient chart type for my lower time frame for this purpose? For example, would loading and running calculations on a 1-3 range chart be more efficient than a 1-3 minute chart? Clearly, a tick chart would be inefficient.

        Correct, all the Add() are internal.

        Range charts would be build on tick data as well - if you want the highest resolution, adding a 1 tick series would be best, but sending to 1 minute would be helpful already as well. Simplyfing this is also something on the enhancement list for our next major release.

          So, assuming I load the same # of bars, which is the most efficient chart type to use: minute charts, range charts or tick chart for the ES, for example. Or is there a more efficient chart type?

            Most efficient would be the minute one, but for most accuracy for your backtesting order placement, you would add a 1 Tick series, the smallest you can do.
