    Hello every one.

    I hope all of you are well where ever you are in these difficult and uncertain times.

    This is only my second time using a forum on this site, so hopefully this is the right place for this enquire or discussion.

    Currently I’m doing some back testing of indicators and require some help.

    I have three issues

    1 I wanted to run a back test using the inbuilt Multi-smoothing moving average on the price chart that PRT provide, however no PRT Pro- back test code is available either within the platform or in the indicator library. Could someone point me in the right direction if one exists or would someone be willing to code that for me? I’m just learning to code now and this is just a bit beyond me skill level at this time.

    2 Like the previous issue I would like to create a moving average on the price chart of the price oscillator that the PRT platform provides where the “Zero-Line” on the oscillator would represent the price action crossing the moving average on the price chart. I understand the calculation of the indicator and I have tried to code this as a moving average on the chart so that I can get a visual representation for a trading strategy building purpose. Again my coding skills are limited at this moment.

    3 Finally I have imported and tried to use the “Percentage Price Oscillator” in the PRT Indicator library and each time I try to load the indicator as an oscillator below the chart a blank screen appears. I have also deleted the original import and re-imported it again many times with no success. I may contact the creator through this site for help, however if anyone else has a solution to this problem I would be most grateful.

    Thank you in advance to anyone offering help.

    1. I will check on Monday
    2. simply open the indicator ‘s settings and add any MA to it (not to the price)
    3. to contact the author simply post a question as a comment to the library entry for that indicator;  being myself the author you don’t need to post it anymore; did you install the Macd-like version?

    Thanks for the reply Roberto. I will download the MACD version and try that. Still interested in the back test code for the multiple smoothing average that comes as a default indicator in the platform, or at least how it is calculated so that can try to code it myself. Thanks again Roberto.

    1 this is the code (I suggest that you import the attached ITF file)

    2 see my answer in my post above

    3 use the HISTO version and set it to HISTOGRAM with its properties.
