I agree, and if 
MetaStock formula language would recognise the fact that you do not want to plot 
anything when "IN A TRADE" = 0 it would be fine. Unfortunately, MS formula 
language appears to assume if you do not have an indicator ON you must want it 
OFF, i.e. you want to plot it as zero. The resulting plot on any chart is 
neither very pretty nor very legible due to scale 
distortion.

I think what I am 
really looking for (as Roy explained in a separate post) is a switching 
function; at this stage I think it is another one for the MetaStcok 
wishlist.

That reminds me, we 
haven't heard Eduardo R. da Silva (from Reuters) in a while.

Eduardo, if you are 
out there, how about an update on the long thread of suggestions that came 
forward following your request on this and other groups back in early 
September.
