Hi Terry,

I looked at your code a little closer and for loops and figured it
out.  The code is:

for( i = 1; i < BarCount; i++ ) 
{ 
    Buy_Requirement3 = IIf ( C > Ref ( HHV ( H, 250 ), -1 ), 1, 0 );
// daily scan
	PlotShapes(shapeStar * Buy_Requirement3,colorBlue,0,C,0);
} 


Thanks again for the help,

Mo.
