Thanks again Tom. The indicator does work. It plots a line that
matches the line at the on line charting service.
Unfortunately right now I have to run errands with the wife or be in
the dog house for spending too much time on the computer. I'll work
on this later tonight and see what I can figure out. I'm obviously
not a programmer so you are showing my some stuff here with your
latest post I've never played with before. I'll work on it tonight.
