Hello!

My strategy trades on onbar events which i filter by a period given by input parameter, like this:

public void onBar(Instrument instrument, Period period, IBar askBar, IBar bidBar) throws JFException {
if (!period.equals(myPeriod))
return;
//also filter the instrument
//do something
}

I wish to set the period of the visual backtester chart like

context.getChart().setPeriod(myPeriod);

but the IChart has only getPeriod() and setInstrument method.
The context.getChart() works in visual backtesting, i use it to add indicators which i use in the strategy automatically.

Is there any other way to set the period of the visual backtesting chart?
And if not could you add a setPeriod method to the IChart interface in some future release.

Thank you.

Hi,
This is not possible at the moment but we will consider adding this.
