Indicator Name Formula

"Stop Trail ing Profit" Input("Trailing Profit Stop", 12.00, 1000.00, 32)
This produces a line across the chart so I can Set & See my trailing Stop

"Stop Entry Pivot" Input("Entry Pivot Stop", 12.00, 1000.00, 32)
This produces a line across the chart so I can see My Cup & Handle Entry
pivot

The answers are;
1   Can Horizontal lines like the above be programmed to appear in say red
      for Trailing stop and green for pivot entry? If so how?

nope    {nice suggestion tho, thus send it to suggestions@xxxxxxxxx}

2   I use an initial stop of 7%. How can I get metastock to draw a line
     automatically based on my pivot entry Line? Can this Initial 7% exit Stop
     Loss by a part of the "Stop Entry Pivot" Formula

yep, as follows:

"Stop Entry Pivot+7" Input("Entry Pivot Stop", 12.00, 1000.00, 32)*1.07
This produces a line across the chart so I can see My Cup & Handle Entry
pivot (default value) +7% (of the default value)
