indicator does not load for all data?

[KCOMOLLO]

I have created an indicator in EFS Wizard that does not seem to load for all the data. Can someone take a look and see why? Attached is a screenshot of the indicator just fading away a few days ago. On some charts it lasts for a few days and others it lasts for a few hours in the same time frame. Here is my code.

Thanks,

If you slide the chart a little further to the left, the indicator will fill
in.

I have seen that work on occasion but sometimes when i go back whole chunks of data seem to not load no matter how long I let it sit.

Also, when backtesting it only backtests for the bars that have the indicator. Does this mean I have to scroll back all the way to the beginning to get an accurate backtest on the ones that do reload?

Thanks for the help with this. Somehow I think I have some data collection setting incorrect and it is just me having a brain cramp.

Ok, so far so good. I am making progress and it only happens because I am a little stupid tonight. The backtest only runs for bars that I have scrolled back to and had the data and indicator load.

My question is:

Is there a way to set the parameters for backtesting so that it will backtest a defined period of time so that I do not have to scroll all the time.

Say a default setting for "one year"?

Thanks again for putting up with me. Not very sharp tonight and new to Esignal.

Thanks,

Re: Reply to post 'indicator does not load for all data?'

There is a finite number of days of data - 60 I think

10 days for tick data

That is probably the limiting factor you are seeing

Right click on the chart, Time Templates and set the number of days to 60 or
so.

May be slow to load, so don't get nervous
