Newbie needs help Re: Composites

["bvandyke" <bvandyke@xxxx>]

Hello all,

In Post 21696, Anthony graciouly included the Coding of the MACD Bull-
Bear by Dimitris. As a newbie i find the concept of Composites used 
this way fascinating and quite innovative.

I have used the Code posted by Anthony and i can see the macbear and 
macbull daily values in their appropriate graphs on my screen.

However, i'm stumped on how to get either one of them (mcbear or 
macbull daily values) into the columns below the AA forumla window 
for exporting the daily values of each to a .csv file. I've tried 
the techniques i've used with single indicator and all i get is a "1" 
or "0" for the column value, depending on what i do. With 
composites, is there something different i must do?

One thing i have tried adding to Anthony's posted code is:

Filter =1;
NumColumns =1;
Graph0= Column0
Graph0 = AddToComposite(Values5,"~macdbear","V");

All this does is return the macbear ticker, individual date, and the 
value of "0" in Column 0 for each day. Any help would be so very 
much appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Bill
