would it be possible to have bar magnifier backtest for an indicator?
with the new feature of having a study value for a signal input, this could be helpful.
this way it might be easier and more accurate to write a pseudo signal/strategy using a study/indicator.
bar magnifier possible request
Re: bar magnifier possible request
I'm confused why this would be any different or any more helpful than using the Bar Magnifier with a strategy.
Do you have an example of where this would be helpful?
basically if you write and indicator to mimic a strategy...
this is tough to do when a strategy uses intrabar ordering
example could be...
An indicator that states, "(Given whatever), plot precise entry and/or exits points"
my thinking is it would be much easier to attain this if bar magnifier was applicable to an indicator as well.

I believe the feature assigned to MC 9 should be helpful for your scenario.

Thanks Andrew, that looks like a great implementation and could possibly make coding out some ideas easier for me to see. Hopefully its not to far off, I'd like to get my hands on that feature.I believe the feature assigned to MC 9 should be helpful for your scenario.
