Backtesting with indicators

[B-Rex]

Hello!

I just have a quick question, when I'm running backtesting on my strategy I like to see the indicators that I used in the strategy to see if there is any optimization I could be making based on the values.

My strategy already plots my two Moving Averages and Volume. I wanted to add a volume SMA to the volume panel, but it always plots it with the price instead of the volume, how do I make it plot in panel 2 with the volume?

Thanks!

Hi B-Rex,

What code are you using to add this indicator?

[B-Rex]

Right now it's just :

Add(SMA(Volume, 50));

Hi B-Rex,

I am unable to reproduce the issue.

I've made a strategy you can test that adds the sma volume with a 50 bar period.
This plot will be in the second panel and will be blue.

I've also added the sma with price data with a 50 bar period.
This plot is in the primary panel and is orange. This is just for you to compare with.

I am finding that they are not the same.

Thank a lot!!

This was the part of the code that I couldn't figure out:

SMA(Volume, 50).PanelUI = 2;

Okay, so I must be blind because I cannot see the "Combined Results Tab" anywhere when running a backtest on the S&P 500 Instrument. I can only see the results for each stock individually... What am I missing here?

Hi B-Rex,

If you are backtesting over an instrument list, then the COMBINE results will be the last row in the results.

well that explains why I didn't see a tab. Thanks!
