someone please tell me how to make my trades appear ON THE CHART

can actually see the back testing results visually? I wrote a

program (for testing purposes). The code is:

> Buy =
Close > MA( Close , 30 );
>
> Sell =
Close < MA( Close , 30 );
>
> Short =
0;

> Cover = 0;

> The problem is I can't see my
trades on the chart and I don't see a 30
> day Moving average on the
chart. All the trades appear in the
> Automatic analysis window (when I
click on "Report") but I'd also like
> to see every thing I coded on the
chart as well. I'm back testing my
> code on SPY (S&P 500).
>
> Also, I'd like to compare my results against the results of a
simple
> "Buy and Hold" strategy (If someone simply bought SPY only one
time
> and is still holding on to it). Is there anyway to show the "Buy
and
> Hold results when I click "report" in the automatic analysis
window?

> Thank you for all your patience.
