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

hmm ... I seem to have found a solution to this use case which might work. So to recap the problem I'm noticing is when chart A references B (each of a different symbol) using Study / Price Overlay and I run a bar based backtest on A. I think because of the bar matching required between the two symbols (despite being on the same timeframe ... maybe chart B has a missing bar or closed at a different time than A on a particular date which is when the slowdown begins?). Anyways, the solution I found was to introduce a chart C (with the same symbol as chart A) and place a study / price overlay on chart C referencing B. Then, add a study / price overlay on A referencing C instead of B. With this config, running a bar based backtest on A runs buttery smooth with it capturing all the needed data from B as expected.
