Dan,
??? If you just did a cut and paste of the indicator, I don't know.
I've attached a gif showing the results I obtained. Notice that the
"Dot" just shows over the bars that are Inside Day bars (errr....
candlesticks I should say).
Send me your chart and a copy of the indicator you applied and
maybe I can tell. Is it possible that the chart you've used to test
has an abnormally high number of Inside Days?
Bewildered at your results without more info.
John
