Ron,  

Good news.  I use something similiar to that in the indicator builder to
set the initial stop level (formula based) on a chart for one system I
have.  I don't want a dots on each bar, only the bar after the entry
signal, so this works nicely.

By the way, how did you get the dots to plot only over the condition
bars?  Where do the go when the statement is false?  Mine plot on the
close which is okay because they are the same color as the bars
themselves.

Can you post the formula?

Good Trading,

Joe J.

Finally got to what I wanted. I'm doing it in the Indicator builder. 
See attached. Drawing trendlines will be helped by connecting the dots. 
Whew!!!
