Try the following. It will let you access intrade for each bar of your chart. Please disregard my earlier comment to your query; it is more applicable for a RT environment.

 

for(i=1; i<BarCount; i++)
{
      if(
C[i] < MA200[i] )
     {
           intrade[i] = 1;
     }
    
else 
  
{
          
intrade[i] = 0;
  
}
}

Plot(Close, "Price", colorBlack, styleCandle);
Plot(MA(C,200), " MA(200): " , colorBlue);

Plot(intrade, “intrade: " , styleleftaxisscale);


GraphXSpace = 5;

Thanks Pankaj.

I did suspect that it was using it as an array; so what do i have to do to declare intrade as a boolean variable (a flag kind of a variable) and not as an array? I couldnt find it in the help but i could have easily overlooked.

MA200 = MA(C, 200);
intrade = 0;

for(i=1; i<BarCount; i++)
{
      if(
C[i] < MA200[i] )
     {
           intrade = 1;
     }
    
else 
  
{
          
intrade = 0;
  
}
}

Plot(Close, "Price", colorBlack, styleCandle);
Plot(MA(C,200), " intrade: " + intrade + " MA(200): " , colorBlue);
GraphXSpace = 5;
