Hi Tan Ming
The timing mechanism for monthly
signals on daily or weekly charts is common to virtually any function
or indicator you might want to display. That includes all code up to the
third "J" variable. Prices are also common - Cm, Hm, Lm, Om for monthly, or
renamed as Cw, Hw, Lw, Ow for weekly. After that the code is very specific to
the result needed.
I'm currently working through a series of articles
in MetaStock Tips & Tricks that explain in detail how to go about creating
such indicators. Hopefully by the end of the series subscribers will be able to
create their own custom weekly/monthly indicators without any further input from
me.
Kind regards

Subject: [EquisMetaStock Group] Monthly indicators on weekly
chart
Hi Roy,
Your code on monthly stochastic super imposed on
weekly chart works great.
Does the code work only on stochastic only? I wish
to super impose other
indicator, eg fml("new indicator"). Which are the
portion should I change?
Regards.
