Hello,

You should take a look at the Mixed Periodicity indicator, which has an RTL token:

The Mixed Periodicity indicator does in fact work in backtesting. If you can offer more details about what you are trying to do, I can better diagnose any problems you're encountering.

Can you provide an example of how you are using the MPD indicator in your RTL? This will be helpful so I can see how you are actually setting up the signal.

You would need to specify two different MPD tokens in this case, sounds like. If you use MPD < MPD, this would make no sense since no result will be less than itself.

However, you could use MPD_A<MPD_B and then you will setup two different tokens for MPD. Inside the MPD token window, you must specify what kind of MPD result to look at. Here, for example, you can select a moving average and then additionally select the indicators preferences with the "indicator preferences" button.
