<SPAN 
class=193300614-13052003>Mark,
I 
think the problem is that writeif looks only to the last bar of data. This is 
why I used the work around I submitted to you yesterday. You said your were 
feeding another program the data. If that program was excel or something similar 
could you use an if type statement to return the appropriate string if the 
result were 0 or 1? 
 
Regards, 
Jayson

AMTo: amibroker@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxSubject: [amibroker] Re: 
Exploration Help PleaseGraham- Your logic for what I 
want to accomplish is good, but whichfunctions to use and how to use them is 
the problem.  For example, toadd a column with text you must use 
AddTextColumn.  But WriteIf giveserror messages when inside it.  
So I tried this as simple test code:level=WriteIf(C > 
25,"Hi","Lo");Filter=1;AddColumn(C, "C", 1.4 
);AddTextColumn(level,"Close Level");Unfortunately this always 
returns "Hi", even if C<=25.  I think the issue is how to insert a 
string into AddTextColumn that varies basedon a condition, but nothing I've 
tried works.  Any more ideas? Thanksfor your efforts,
