Hi, I'm trying to take a look at a some EMA data I'm plotting. When I try to open the Average Cross plot, I get "Waiting for chart" and nothing happens. I opened the chrome developer console (it logs a nice easter egg :) cool!), and it looks like there's an error with the charting library you're using: https://i.imgur.com/oAsqbh4.png
Interestingly, in this forum discussion preview, the chart seems to work.
The algorithm is probably wrong, by the way. I'm just playing around and getting to know the platform.

Hi Eugenio,
Not sure why the "Waiting for chart" notification is popping up, but I cloned your backtest and it did indeed fail to show the Average Cross plot. To get it to show, the only adjustment that needs to be made is the index argument in AddSeries(). The index argument, which is the integer in avgCross.AddSeries( Series("FastMA", SeriesType.Line, 1) ), refers to the index of the Series in the Chart object, where 0 is the first Series, 1 indexes the second Series, etc. up until the maximum of 10. This means that the first series added using AddSeries() must use 0, and then you will be able to index new series with 1, 2, etc. after that for the same Chart. You can view this in the attached backtest. Thanks for the heads-up, we'll be sure to change the example algorithm.
