Ed, I have finally got some time to look over your code and can't really figure out the following line:

C_Plot = IIf(!tt, ValueWhen(Ref(dtt,1) == -1, C), Null);

Can you explain it in plain English, when you have a minute.

I plotted "tt" and "dtt" so I can see how those variables work but I still have two questions.

1) What does the exclamation mark mean here:

!tt

I guess that's some "c" language shortcut that I don't know.

2) How to interpret the section with ValueWhen(). Is this the right translation:

"when dtt one bar into the future equals minus one, then return the value of Close".

Tnx, Lester
