Hi team,
What's the best way to plot indicator with a price chart in Backtest, like MA inside SPY chart or RSI below SPY chart?
Is there any existing that I can follow?
Thank you.

var close = Identity("SPY"); var ema = EMA("SPY", 14); var rsi = RSI("SPY", 14); PlotIndicator("SPY", ema, close);Placing the code above in Initialize will cause the EMA indicator to automatically plot. The identity indicator just returns the current price, so you'll get both your EMA and the closing prices on the same plot. If you want to do a stacked chart you'll need to create your own chart objectvar chart = new Chart("SPY", ChartType.Stacked); chart.AddSeries(new Series(close.Name, SeriesType.Line)); chart.AddSeries(new Series(rsi.Name, SeriesType.Line)); AddChart(chart);This will define the chart as a stacked type (vs overlay default). You could then plot your indicators using:PlotIndicator("SPY", close, rsi);One thing to mention, you currently can't combine stacked and overlayed charts on a single chart. So it will either stack them all or overlay them all. Hope this helps!Jianwei Wang
