Somewhere along the line of updates the OPEN line has been deleted from Backtesting - i have added that function back in.
To backtest you go into the inputs tab after right clicking on a chart and selecting INDICATORS LIST in the box that pops up, then select the indicator out of the list and click on it to highlight it then click on EDIT, click on INPUTS
select Back_Test _Days and put in the number of days, now the Central PIVOT or the OPEN will automatically backdate with the graphics, if you want you can select Pivots or Daily HI/LO and the full set of Pivots and Daily HI/LO will back date as well.
This will not show each day as an individual day as in each separate day stepping up or down , it shows you the setup for the last day you have selected. If you select 3 days for example move the chart to the right bringing up the last of the Left hand graphics ( It pays to have the show period separators on so you can see the days separated by a line ) that last graphic is a display of the setup on the 3 rd day.
As i said before any of the latest Dolly's will back date however the OPEN Line was not doing that. I have supplied a new indicator and put BT for BackTest on it to avoid confusion, this indicator is identical to Dolly v10 which switches between the PIVOT & OPEN Setups.
The 2 screenshots show a 5 & 3 Day back test - i repeat only the far left day on the chart shows the setup for that day. If you select 1 day backtest it will show the setup for yesterday if 2 day backtest it will show 2 days ago etc
I hope this helps
