Post From: Bar Based Backtest with STudy/Price overlay referencing different symbol

I'm unsure if this is expected behavior or I have something incorrectly setup. Here is what I'm observing: - I do a bar based backtest on an empty chart. The performance is very fast. - I do the exact same bar based backtest after adding a study / price overlay referencing the main price graph of a different symbol (same timeframe). This is the only study on the chart. Now, the bar based backtest grinds to a halt at around the 40% mark (moving up maybe 1% every 15 or so seconds). Adding a study / price overlay referencing a chart of the same symbol produces no issue. Adding a higher or lower timeframe doesn't make a difference - just that I referenced another symbol. Thoughts? EDIT: To clarify, my actual objective here is to get a study/price overlay of a custom study residing on a chart of a different symbol. The case above is just a test to simplify what I'm observing. Hence, the overlay study / the add additional symbol study wouldn't work in my case. Date Time Of Last Edit: 2020-11-21 14:57:03
