Hello,

In response to 

Question 1: 

What you have used is just a Buy / Sell system. To plot, you have to Plot using 
the Plot syntax

Example: Plot(MA(C,30),"30-MA", colorblue, styleline);

Add the above syntax to your formula AFL and on the Menu Bar, click on Tools - 
> Apply Indicator

Cheers

Prashanth

  Subject: [amibroker] Chart and Report question please


  Hi Members

  I hope everyone who celebrates Thanksgiving had a peaceful day.

  I thought I'd better re-post my question as it was getting lost in
  antiquity.

  Please help.

  Question 1 please

  After running a back test on a simple 30 day SMA crossover system, I
  still cannot see the 30 SMA line on the chart that my basic
  formula is coded for. Below is the code exactly as it appears in the
  AFL wizard.

  Buy = Close > MA( Close , 30 );

  Sell = Close < MA( Close , 30 );

  Short = 0;

  Cover = 0;

  I opened up the Automatic Analysis window and executed the back test
  successfully but my chart seems to be showing 6 moving average lines
  none of which are in my formula. It shows 6 sma lines none of which
  are a 30 day SMA line.

  How can I get my chart to show ONLY what is in my formula (Ex: Where
  is the 30 day SMA line)? Also, (the reverse) how can I identify what
  indicators are currently showing on my chart?

  Question 2 please

  Also, in the AA window when I click "report", a detailed report
  appears with the columns 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 back test to a simple "Buy and Hold" strategy.
  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
  compare/beat the return of a simple "Buy and Hold" strategy.

  Thank you all for your time and patience

  Peace on Earth.
