Steve,
Your custom indicators will need to have a "P" in the data array identifier
in order to be dropped on another plot. With a "P" they will recognize the
plot as the target or will default to "CLOSE" when dropped on a price chart.
Standard indicators such as MA will work on either plots or prices so that's
why it worked when I tried it.
