Stephane,
Many thanks. I'll play with it and may have questions later.
 
I hate to have to have other people solve my problems but it sure is nice to know people like you are on this thread for when you really get stuck.

Hello,
if yours data are minutes bar, below is an example to get buy signal based on EOD with a looping example

TimeFrameSet( inDaily );
Lchart= H<Ref(H,-1) AND L<Ref(L,-1);
Top[0]=High[0];
ValBO=0.5;
for( i = 1 ; i < BarCount; i++ )
{
if (Lchart[i])
Top[i]=(High[i]*(1 + valBO/100)); 
else
Top[i]=Top[i-1];
}
Buy=Cross(C,Top);
TimeFrameRestore();
Buy=TimeFrameExpand(Buy,inDaily);
Top=TimeFrameExpand(Top,inDaily);
Plot(Top,"",2,1);
Plot(C,"",1,64);
PlotShapes(IIf( Buy, shapeUpArrow,shapeNone),colorGreen,0,L,-20);
