Hello treker,

Strategy signals are shown on chart by default, whenever a signal or set of signals is applied to a chart (both in backtesting and auto-trading).

Let me guess. Are you talking about disappearance of backtested strategy orders from chart when you start auto trading? If not, please elaborate.

Hi Andrew,

Yes, I would like to see backtested strategy orders from chart when I start auto trading.

The idea of the SA mode (that you are using for automated trading) is to show on chart only those strategy orders that were really executed at broker. That is why all backtested orders are wiped out from chart at the moment when you enable automation.

You may want to use AA mode that leaves all the backtested trades on chart, but please make sure you understand how exactly asynchronous (AA) mode works.
