RE: use IF statement, return nul value

["michael" <mslist@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

If your formula permits, you can use the closing price as the null value.
This doesn't throw off the scaling like a zero value does.

example: if( expr, true, close);

Hope this helps.

I tried everything on this a little while ago and called MS support. It is
not possible. What I has to do what make up a null indicator that is 0. I
then plot this as the last indicator with a gray line and this covers up the
0 points.

I want to use an IF Statement in an indicator.

But I want the "else" part of the statement to return nothing... a nul
value, and not a 0 (zero) nor anything else.

Reason: What I want to plot is a point over the bar when a condition is
met, and to plot nothing when the condition is not met. If you put a 0
(zero) as the "else" part of the statement, then the indicator plots a zero
at the bottom of the graph; I don't want this.

Can you help?

Bob.
