Jayson,
Thanks for getting back to me so quickly. I am a new user and I've
been having some trouble getting accustomed to the syntax of this
program. I tried to set up a new indicator with the code for
plotshapes, I got a syntax error after the "buy,". I entered a buy
value above the line of code you gave me and then got a syntax error
on "plotshapes". HELP!! Assuming that I eventually get this
working, wouldn't it be easier to have arrows placed on the drawing
menu so that this could be clicked on the chart just like the text
box, rectangle/ellipse etc?
