Hi Ton,
Exactly! You are experienced with MS. I am only a newbie, but I am a programmer. I was *very* sure that colors were implemented in MS already. Therefore, my stupid questions. I could not believe for a second that this was *not* implemented.
Colors and horizontal lines and styles also are a *property* of an indicator. That's why colors should be implemented in the indicator builder dialog, here another solution that would not confuse old formula collections:
---
m = mov(c,21,e); // Exp. Mov. Av.
color(m, red); // setting object 'CIndicator' m to red
style(m, default); // redundant, because everything has a default
m; // draw m
---
Badly needed! I agree. No playing around with layouts and templates anymore.
