Tip --
This is a copy of a response I sent to a newbie on 2/2/06.
I think this is what you had in mind. One program -> two graphs.
(Doesn't use BackTester.)
1. Open AB editor and Copy code below thereto.
2. SaveAs with a name.
3. AFL check (icon). Fix any errors.
4. Select an unused sheet.
5. Insert indicator (icon) (twice).
6. You should now see two new graphs on the sheet (probably blank).
7. Right click the top new graph. Select Parameters->Axis and Grid.
8. Near bottom of new Axis and Grid find 'ChartId' number.
9. Enter number in place of '1486' in code.
10. Enter number+1 in place of '1487' in code.
11. Modify for your system, if that's sorta what you wanted.
|// Trythis.afl
// simple system just to illustrate same code displaying different
// charts on same sheet.
SetTradeDelays(1,1,1,1);
SetBarsRequired(100000,100000);
*Filter* = 0;
// code to go long
*Buy* = Cross(MA(*C*, 10)*0.95, MA(*C*,20)); // I did say 'simple'
*BuyPrice* = *Open*;
LongStop = Ref(*L*, -1);
*Sell* = *L* < LongStop;
*Buy* = ExRem( *Buy*, *Sell* );
*Sell* = ExRem( *Sell*, *Buy* );
*SellPrice* = Min(*Open*, LongStop);
// code to go short
*Short* = Cross(MA(*C*, 20), MA(*C*, 10)*1.05); // still simple
*ShortPrice* = *Open*;
ShortStop = Ref(*H*, -1);
*Cover* = *H* > ShortStop;
*Short* = ExRem( *Short*, *Cover* );
*Cover* = ExRem( *Cover*, *Short* );
*CoverPrice* = Max(*Open*, ShortStop);
// Plot charts
SetChartOptions(1,*chartShowArrows*|*chartShowDates*);
Plot(*C*,"Close",*colorBlack*,*styleCandle*);
// Chart for long trades
*if*(GetChartID()==1486){
Plot(LongStop,"LongStop",*colorBlue*,*styleDots*);
//PlotShapes(LongSetup*shapeUpArrow,colorBlack,0,L,-12); // LongSetup
not defined
PlotShapes(*Buy***shapeUpArrow*,*colorGreen*,0,*L*,-12);
PlotShapes(*Sell***shapeDownArrow*,*colorRed*,0,*H*,-12);
}
// Chart for short trades
*if*(GetChartID()==1487){
Plot(ShortStop,"LongStop",*colorBlue*,*styleDots*);
//PlotShapes(LongSetup*shapeUpArrow,colorBlack,0,L,-12);
PlotShapes(*Cover***shapeHollowUpArrow*,*colorRed*,0,*L*,-12);
PlotShapes(*Short***shapeHollowDownArrow*,*colorGreen*,0,*H*,-12);
}

is it possible to plot to 2 different chart panes from within the same
afl file? if so, how?
