I think, although I could be wrong, that what Sukhen wants to do is create a "time line indicator" just like what MS has for Fibonacci time lines. In other words, place your cursor on a high or low and then it will draw lines according to some sequence other than fibonacci numbers of 3,5,8,13, etc on future upcoming bars.
I could be wrong but it seems that this is what he might be attempting to do.

Suhken,Here's a quick idea of how it could be done in Metastock. In the indicator builder you would write a custom formula and lets call it MACD Signal. We are going to write a formula that signals the cross of the MACD above zero. Our formula would simply be:{MACD Signal}cross(MACD(),0)This indicator is then laid onto a chart window of either a price plot or incicator. It is overlayed without scale...the other options would have been to scale with the chart or to merge. We choose without scale because the ouput generated by the signal would be 1 when the signal occurs. What you will see on the chart is a vertical line where the MACD() cross over zero occurs. It would only appear in the window it resides in, be it price or indicator.If you want to program a date or time you would first need to
define that event. Roy and Jose have already done a considerable amount of work in that area and you might want to check their work for some ideas. For Fibonacci's, I'm sure Dusant can help you. What you will need is to define the event.Preston --- In equismetastock@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, Sukhen K Mitra <sukhen@xxxx> wrote:> Hi Preston,> Many thanks for your help. My point is the second one. I am sorry that I forgot to clearly state that. I am trying to draw vertical lines programatically. Suppose I calculate the datetime (I don't know that also how I can calculate datetime with the help of MetaStock language but I am sure there'd a way, would appreciate any help in that aspect also, was also thinking if a system call could be implemented using an external C/any other program if not directly supported by MetaStock Formula language). But before going in to those kind of complexities, my first basic
question was if a vertcal line could be drawn programatically at all and if so, how. Let me explain a little more - if you get in to Visual Trading software of CMS-forex.com, you'll see a Fibonacci can be drawn along the X-axis (datetime for us). I was trying to work in that line (something similar but not exactly the same). > > Thank you very much for any help.> > - Sukhen> > pumrysh <no_reply@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote:> Suhken,> > Its basically a drop and drag operation.
