I have set "plot executions" to "markersonly" but every time I run a backtest it plots "textandmarkers" How do I get it to remember this setting? The other settings such as marker colors and position lines are remembered.

You would need to change your default chart template.

Doesn't work. Tried changing the settings and then right clicked on chart and saved as the default template. Re-run the strategy and textandmarker is plotted again. I'm using 6.0.1000.7. Didnt work on the prior .5 version either.

I checked: This is by design, since we wanted to guarantee that users see full trade info using the strategy analyzer.

I would like to suggest a compromise solution, that will ensure all trade info will be available, without cluttering the chart...

How about just displaying the marker, but popping up a display of all data relating to a trade when the mouse pointer is hovered over a marker on a chart, when using MarkersOnly?

Thanks for your suggestion. We'll add it to the list of future considerations.
