If the formula is drawing a flat line, then you are dropping it on the
advances, and not the composite itself which in this case is considered
P. I just plotted per the instructions again and they are correct as
written.
After you drag the advancing issues line into the composite chart,
select it so that it has handles. Then when you drop the formula, you
can watch for the line with the handles to turn colors.

I tried the instructions again and still received a horizontal line. In
fact if I dropped the indicator on first the composite and then the
advances I received a horizontal line for each but with different
values.
I noticed that you said that the Advancing Issues should be dragged into
the composite. The instructions indicate the opposite, drag the
Composite into the Advances Issues chart. When I tried your suggestion
of dragging the Advancing Issues into the composite, I still received a
horizontal line when I dropped the indicator on to the composite, but
this makes sense. However, when I dropped the indicator on to the
Advancing Issues plot I did get a varying indicator. This indicator was
the opposite(Composite/Advancing) from what was
desired(Advancing/Composite). If I change the indicator to mov(P/C,10,S)
and drop it onto the Advancing Issues, which has been dragged onto the
composite, I seem to get a proper chart.
I tried to use this method with other charts; open Declining Issues and
then Advancing Issues and dragging one on to the other and then applied
the Breadth Thrust indicator but the indicator again plotted as a
horizontal line. When I opened the Declining Issues chart the program
told me that the chart was in MS 5.0 format. When I had created the
composite chart I don't recall being prompted about the file format so I
wonder if part of the problem has to do with combining file formats. A
more important issue regarding file format is how to convert large
numbers of charts stored in MS 5.0 to MS 6.0. I have copied large
quantities of files from my Reuters CD to my hard drive. All of these
are in MS 5.0 format. Is there a way to convert these charts to MS 6.0
without individually opening each chart. Can the downloader convert from
one type of MS file to another?
Thanks, Bill
