when 
you say "the scale is way off" are you trying to plot this indicator on a price 
chart  as an overlay? If so you can plot the indicator in an empty window 
then drag it into your price window. When prompted choose "no scale". this will 
produce the hist lines while preserving your price scale
<SPAN 
class=237424605-27102002> 
If 
what you want is more of a stairstep type indicator you could try something 
like

That gets me part way 
there.Plotme:=if(MyIndicatorTest,1,0);PlotMe;Does get me 
points where they should 
be.Plotme:=if(MyIndicatorTest,IndicatorValue,0);PlotMe;Gives 
me the values, but by using 0, the scale is way off.Replacing 0 by 
IndicatorValue - SomeConstant helps to identify the desired points and 
maintain a reasonable scale.I would like the equivalent of  
Excel's:If(TruthTest,SomeValue,"")So I could get values as a scatter 
plot.TIARonJayson wrote:> ron,>
