Reinsley and Louis.
Here is my take on the arrows:
There are two types of tradesignals you can display on the charts
1. The backtest generated Buy/Sell or Short/Cover arrows.
2. Any arrows, shapes or digits that you want, using PlotShapes function
in AB.
They work differently...
1. To display the Backtest generated arrows you need to have.
a. correct backtest code.
b. actual trades taken in the backtest (see Results list to verify these
exist).
c. Each chart you want to see trading arrows on must be enabled to do that
Use either
i. Right click chart , Axes and Grids, Miscellaneous, show trading
arrows, or
ii. include this instruction in your code e.g. SetChartOptions( 0,
chartShowDates | chartShowArrows );
d. after you have run the backtest, right click the results list and
select Show arrows for actual trades.
Note that if you change the time interval e.g. from Hourly to Daily this
will erase your arrows.
RC the Results list again to display them again.
2. To display any PlotShapes derived arrows, shapes or digits you need to
a. have the correct code in your formula /per pane/
This means correct plotshapes code and equity call if needed (e.g.
used with Applystops)
b. have the Setting in Automatic Analysis set correctly to Long or Short.
If you have Long only code and Plotshapes in one pane, they will not
show if your AA setting is set to Short.
So if you want one sheet with Price Pane above and RSI below;
Then you want actual buy /sell or Short/cover arrows to show on charts
follow the guidelines under 1 above.
If you want to show the Plotshapes based on RSI levels or parameters in
your Price code, just include those in your price code but do not plot
the RSI level.
Just the way I use these, of course.
This may help..

Hi,
My "Buy * shapeUpArrow" are calculated and plotted into the RSI pane.
I would like to calc buy signal on RSI (as it is) but plot the arrows
into the price pane.
I got the two chartIDs but no way to find how to move the arrow's plot
toward another pane.
Any help or link will be appreciate.
Regards
