Is there a way to view the priceline(s) and or indicators (rather than just portfolio performance..)

assuming that this would be a platform for development (as opposed to only back testing)
It is (or maybe it isn't and i am ) a view mode to browse the price data alongside existing (and programmable) indicators.

did i miss an easy "click here"

thanks

Hi Avishalom:

There is no easy way to view the price data, because part of our agreement with our data providers is that we don't redistribute our data.

However, you can use the record function to plot any timeseries data, including the price of a stock. For example, record(AAPL=data[sid(24)].close_price) will plot the price of Apple for the duration of your backtest. Hope that helps.

thanks,
Jean, Quantopian
