Jim,
I think currently the only way to display indicator values in AB is to write
a Guru
Commentary using incorporating writeval() functions for the values you want.

IMO AB charts really needs a facility like the "Data Window" in Metastock.
This feature
can be toggled on/off and displays a panel showing OHLCV... plus the values
of all indicators plotted on your
chart(sheets) for the currently selected bar. As you cursor thru chart bars
with cross hairs/cursor pointer the Data Window values change dynamically.
The Data Window can also be moved/resized or floated to any convenient
position on the screen so as not to obscure the chart area of interest. This
very useful feature therefore gives you *all* information for a bar
*instantly* without the need for multiple mouse clicks, hovering
etc.etc.Many times you need this information as it is impossible to
determine by simple visual inspection of plots.

Tomasz - if this feature is not already on the "wish list" could you add it
please?

Thanks
John
