Hi everyone,

First of all, I'm new to WL but I can already see the amazing potential. Especially since I don't have a programming background.

I'm still learning how to use the platform, but I noticed that the risingfalling transformer is by default added to the price pane of a chart. That creates a scaling issue due to the value difference between it and the asset price. If I move it to the volume pane, then its not really visible. Is there a way to place it in a new pane?

In addition to that, when I use it as a condition for my strategy entry block, the backtest charts place it in the price pane. This again causes a scaling issue.

Thanks!

Hi,

Yes. By default it's not added to the Price pane, rather to indicator's pane that appears in the corresponding field (like RSI). So there isn't a scaling issue by default when you drop the transformer onto a chart manually. That field accepts any valid string which you can type in to customize the pane name.

If you choose a price series like Close here then this does cause a scaling issue but this is not a bug. In this case you cannot customize the pane name unless you convert the Blocks into code which is non-reversible ("Open as C# Coded strategy" button).

Thank you Eugene!
I didn't realize you can type the pane name when adding it to a chart. That works. As for the backtest, you're right, I'm applying it to an EMA so it gets added to the price chart.

I'm trying to add a condition to my entry block that an EMA (e.g 200) is trending up. Is risingfalling the best approach to do that?

Glad to help you @anis_n. Yes, it's a straightforward approach to express a trending condition.
