Can you separate the underlying in the Analyzer? For example:

dia
spy
qqqq
---
uso
gld
tlt
---

Where the "---" would be a blank space in the Analyzer?

Also,

Can I see a "strategy" trigger in the analyzer? I understand that the strategy would need to plot a number, but can I create that with the wizard or is that essentially creating a custom indicator to plot trigger buy and sell signals?

Last question, when I populate the Analyzer, does it recalculate all of the values of the indicators that I have included, based on the look back period because the last 100 bars are different than the repopulated 100 bars, they're not the same bars used in the previous calculation? Or does it build on the existing data and actually increase the look back period? I'm using daily bars for quite a few fields in the analyzer, and those are my primary concern.

Thanks much! The analyzer is really terrific!

Hello Mainstream,

Thank you for your post!

1.) Unfortunately having rows that are spaces is not supported. You could put a nonsense instrument in to create a blank row except for the instrument name.

2.) Unfortunately strategies are not supported using the Market Analyzer. You can create an indicator to fire off a numerical value when you want to trade. Then create an alert for that value.

3.) The lookback period is not increased, it will use only the last 100 bars even when new bars are created. It will recalculate on the new 100 bars.
