  [EquisMetaStock Group] Use of Security() Function in an 
  IndicatorIf the Security function symbol data is in 
  the same data folder as the chartyou are on your code should 
  work.   However, if the data is in a differentfolder then you 
  must put the entire windows path in.eg:adr:=("C:\MetaStock 
  Data\index\x.nasd-a", C) /  ("C:\MetaStockData\index\x.nasd-d,C) 
  ;adrtry putting in the entire path, subsituting the folder that 
  has your data init.   One advantage of using the full path is 
  that you can then plot theindicator on any security in any 
  folder.Tom----- Original Message ----- From: "Joe Dupcak"
