To use GRAPH and GRAPHONPRICE, especially when you have to monitor many variables, please follow the steps I am suggesting you with the attached pics.
Pic1 – that’s what your chart looks like after ProBackTest has finished processing, you’ll have to:
-
- make price (candlesticks) and variables visible by stretching the scale (my green arrows on the scale) to a great extent
- get (almost) rid of the performance curve windows by picking its lower rightmost angle and pushing it upwards till you are allowed to, in order to make room for GRAPHed variables
- do the same with the windows where trades are plotted, you don’t need them now, but you need more space for the price chart where GRAPHONPRICE plots its data
Pic2 – that’s what your chart looks like after completing the above steps:
-
- you might need to compress the scale of the VARIABLES’windows (the opposite of what you did with the price scale), to make GRAPHed variables more visible
- you’ll be able to see the variables GRAPHed ON PRICE as they sit on the price chart at runtime
You can just let your mouse hover the desired candlestick you want to monitor and you’ll get a clear, detailed insight of what’s going on with your code. If some data are not what you expected to see, try to figure out what you need to change to achieve your goals and start the backtest all over and over until everything works as expected.
