Re: indicator to text?

Probably the best way to do this would be to write an indicator (either 3 
individuals or 1 inclusive) that you would plot on a chart. When you lay the 
indicator on the chart use the squigly dot style (last selection under 
style) and color each a different color. Then you will only need to remember 
what each dot color means but after a time you will get used to it.

Good trading,

J.
