[amibroker] Re: What am I not comprehending here, thought PlotShapes worked within backtest

["Homar Simpson" <x77777x@xxxxxxxxx>]

 Sorry, I think we're still on different wavelengths.

 Apparently the only way to display these plots is to embed them in
the chart itself , not from externally run scans, backtests, or
explores.  Is that the problem?   So I have to paste the plot code
into the chart as a separate piece of afl code?
