That helped solve it for me. I went back to start over since over the years I found I can isolate errors. Made blank pane. Moved price to it from charts tab. Right clicked like you stated. No formula to plot 3* ATR. Added it. AFter some more work, I got it to show.
Here is what I noticed: After I edited the code, I normally check syntax - the AFL check mark and then move directly to the red exclamation point to perform the backtest. I noticed that I had skipped the apply indicator button next to the AFL check mark. To try it, I clicked on it and another pane displayed with what I wanted. I don't understand this, but it worked. Oh, and the title displays too. There is something about refreshing plots that I don't understand yet. I'm trying to make the code somewhat independent of the automatic analyzer settings so that I can try different trading strategies. Anyway, the plots that I wanted to show now are displayed. Many thanks for your help. I would have had no idea to right click on the pane.
