Hi Tomasz and Grant
Thank you, I did watch the video and found the menu in the AA window
(right clicked on trades) and located the various "show trades" commands.
Question 1 please
However I still cannot see the 30 SMA line on the chart that my basic
formula employs.
On my chart the AA window did accomplish a successful backtest but my
chart seems to be showing 6 moving average lines none of which are in
my formula.
How can I get my chart to show ONLY what is in my formula (30 day SMA
line)?
Question 2 please
Also, in the AA window when I click "report", a detailed report
appears with the colums called "All Trades, Long Trades and Short Trades.
Where is the column called "Buy and Hold"? I'd like to compare the
results of my system backtest to a simple buy and hold. Wealth-Lab has
this column in their report. I like the "buy and hold" column because
at this point in my learning curve, I'm trying to beat the return of a
simple buy and hold strategy.
Thank you for your patience
Walter
