OK, thank you. I have a few questions and I hope this doesn't seem to be a mess to you. First, I do not see where the profit/loss data is kept in the Spreadsheet study. Obviously it is kept somewhere as you provide a cumulative profit/loss. Second, wrt. the overlay study I am having a problem. I can get it set up to the point where it will take trades the way I want it, but I cannot backtest it. What I have done is as follows: (For an overview, I have a 15 min. chart with an indicator. I want to trade off of a 3 min. chart given the 15min. chart indicator and use the 3 min. indicator as the Buy Entry. Assume a 15 Stochastic crossover and then use a 3 min Stochastic crossover when they are both positive.) Overlay Study synchronized. Did not seem to work when I wanted to adjust the overlay to a chart time period that was different from the primary chart. I assume this is correct. Overlay study unsynchronized. This seems to work nicely and will work for auto trading but when I go to back test the system it will not pick up the overlay study indicator. I am assuming because it is not synchronized. Is this correct or am I missing something. Study/Price Overlay. This will work to synchronize nicely in time, but it will not produce an indicator. An MACD or Stochastic is jumbled and is obviously picking up bad data points. Thanks for the help. |
