Roy:
Really strange!
First, I tried the "*" test you asked for. Ver 8.0 will accept 52 lines of 48 characters, plus three extra; or 2499 total. So this is the same as what you said 7+ accepted. Then I pasted my download of your first formula into Word. It counted 2305 characters, which included the { } line. There were 48 lines, and each was followed by only a paragraph mark. So that should mean 2353 characters; although you indicated there were 2389. Not sure why a difference. I decided not to do a manual character count!
So then I tried to Paste it again into a new indicator [w/o the { } line]. I did it in two "pastes" and everything worked! So I have no idea why I had so much trouble before. If all my Metastock problems could be solved by just asking the question!
Finally I used the indicator on a stock. I first noticed that one of the inputs was "Scaling % in Parameter Box". What does this mean? Then I tried to interpret the series of horizontal lines, and I quickly realized that I had no idea what this indicator was designed to show. Can you explain what the purpose of the indicator is?
And finally, I was wondering why the Indicator's Last Date does not default to Today's date?
