composite?



Thank you for your quick reply.  I have another question.  The only 
way I found to manually enter data for an indicator was to create a 
new symbol for each indicator.  Then I created a layout with 
multiple windows, one for the P/V data and one window for each 
indicator/symbol.  This worked well at first, but then I found that 
the Quote Editor doesn't seem to accept negative numbers.  Some of 
the indicators I'm working with often show negative values.  Is 
there some way to get the quote editor to accept negative values?  
Or, is there some way to manually enter each day's data for an 
indicator?  I tried working with the Indicator Builder but I 
couldn't find a way to manually enter the data with this function.

Thanks,
Jason
