Maybe not...
Through this discussion, the problem has been reduced to aligning the
min/max range of a MACD styleOwnScale plot to another zero line
styleOwnScale plot statement. Therefore, the only way to do this is
to find the min/max values of the MACD function in the visible bars
range and use those numbers in both plot statements, or make the MACD
range symmetrical and then the zero line statement can be any
symmetrical range.
I am happy with my dual colored plot line at this point. However, to
complete the original idea, I could use a simple loop to find the min/
max numbers of the MACD, but I am now wondering if there is a "faster"
execution way using array logic instead?
It seems like a waist of time to create an array of the Min/Max over
that range for all bars, then just use the last value. I use loops
when I only want a single number result related to the Min/Max value
over the last n bars only (like the visible bar range). Am I missing
an opportunity to approach this in a more efficient way?

Dennis
