Global variables

When I run a simulation with specific variables, get the trades list, and open the chart, I have to reset the variables on the indicators for the charting.

Is there a way I can use a global variable and make the change only once?

Thanks

John

This may be the answere to my own question. It's from the New Release Info. several days ago.

I'll try this and see.

New "Global" event in Money Management

A new "Global" event was added to the money management script. This event is called once and it can be used to create global variables and functions to use in other events.

Example:
double barIndex = 0;

#functions#
public double Hello()
{
return 10;
}

What exactly do you mean by "I have to reset the variables on the indicators for the charting" ?

What I mean is...

Say I include an SMA in a simulation and optimize it with sma20, sma 50, sma 100, sma200.
Then the results seem best at 50 and I want to chart a few of the results to see that it is triggered by the pattern I had intended.
So I click on the result in the 'Trades' list to get a chart and of course it brings up a chart using my default chart, say using sma 20.
Rather than changing my default to match the simulation each time, could I set the perameters more globally to follow those I currently use in the sim?

Thanks.

Perhaps, my real question is,

Is it possible to get a chart that reflects the perameters used in the simulation automatically.
So updating the simulation would automatically update the resulting chart when accessed from the 'Trades' list?

Thank you

=> Not directly. But you can check "Plot Entries&Exits on chart" to display buy and sell arrows in the selected chart.

Is it possible to plot indicators/variables in the same chart along with the arrows?

Create a different pane for each indicator/arrows combination.
