I have a 5 minute chart that is the "Trading" chart I would like to use info from an different chart (non-time based) I have the non-timed chart overlayed on the 5 min but the autotrade prog doesnt recognize the signal on the non timed based chart Should I reference the "Chart" or the the "overlayed study"? the auto trade is from the "studies" folder not a spreadsheet TIA |

Should I reference the "Chart" or the the "overlayed study"?
Reference the overlaid study, which should be the Study/Price Overlay study.When using an overlaid study in an autotrader, there will be times when the signal disappears after it triggers an entry, or it appears late and an entry is 'missed'. There is no way to always avoid these anomalies, regardless of the settings in the overlaid study. This is because the overlaid study goes True at different intervals, some of which will change after the signal. |
