Tomasz and Dimitris,

Thank you for your suggestions ... but I am still having difficulties.

For an example look at BRKS. It has a float of 14.5 million shares. If you
sum the volume backward you will see that the turnover start point was
7/31/01. In that time the lowest low has been 28.51 (9/19/01) and the
highest high has been 54.25 (8/2/01).

Now I would like to have horizontal lines drawn at 54.25 & 28.51 (It would
be great if this channel would only be drawn in the period in question -
7/31-present). My code is drawing one horizontal line at 33.23?

Here is what I have:

MaxGraph = 9;

EnableScript("jscript");

// this is to show only one entry per stock

ticker = name();

<%
CInfo = new ActiveXObject("QuotesPlus.CompanyInfo");
CInfo.Symbol = AFL("ticker");

// try-catch block handles the situation when
// QuotesPlus object returns strange values

try
{
AFL("Float") = Number( CInfo.Float() )*1000000;
}
catch( e )
{
AFL("Float") = 0;
}


%>

// Cum( Volume ) gives accumulated volume
// Cum( Volume ) >= Float give "true" for all bars after cumulated volume
// is equal or greater to float
// ExRem() removes "true" on every bar after the first bar when above
condition is met

cumvol = LastValue( cum( volume ) ) - cum( volume );
dayone = valuewhen(cumvol>float,1);

graph0 = close;

// Now we simply calculate the most recent values of HighestHigh and
LowestLow from dayone

hh = LastValue( HighestSince( dayone, high ) );
ll = LastValue( LowestSince( dayone, low ) );

graph0 = close;
graph0style=64;
graph0color=2;

graph1 = hh;
graph2 = ll;
graph1style = graph2style = 1;

Hello,

In that case Peter should use:

cumvol = LastValue( cum( volume ) ) - cum( volume );
