Hi Henry.

Thanks again for the help.  The code works perfect.

As I try to educate myself on the subject of code, please explain the
following line in English terms.

A:=If(Uptrend,1,If(Downtrend,-1,0));

My understanding is that it reads this way:  If an uptrend is present, plot
the number "1", and if a downtrend is present plot "-1", otherwise, plot
"0".

-Sam

Sam,

here is the formula

Uptrend:=C>Mov(C,5,E) AND
AroonUp(5)>AroonDown(5) AND
(PDI(5))>(MDI(5));

downtrend:=C<Mov(C,5,E) AND
AroonUp(5)<AroonDown(5) AND
(PDI(5))<(MDI(5));

A:=If(Uptrend,1,If(Downtrend,-1,0));
A=0
