For the sake of argument, lets say it has the value. 34.95. Then you have basically three variables, the first moving average length is 34, the second is nine, and the signal is five. I use this type of thing a lot to decribe both a function input, it's colour and line thickness when building indicators. If it doesn't make sense, then I'll get the Metastock manual out and construct an example.

Encoding several variables into one has its uses but, eventually, you will want to access its components ... so, are you not just postponing the fact that you will eventually run our of variable names within the scope of your formula?

I have run into a problem while writing an indicator in which I have too many assigned variables (more than 20). Has anyone found any programming tricks that permit, for example, variables to be combined, etc., so that the total can be greater than 20?
