Jose,
Your code works wonderfully. Thank you so much.

John, try something along the lines of the code at
http://metastocktools.com/MACDH/Forex.htm , where the plot is
restricted to values above zero.
I don't have MetaStock with me here on holidyas, but I think this code
below should get rid of your zero values:
x:=LastValue(Ref(Fml("My indicator"),5)+PREV-PREV);
ValueWhen(1,x>0,x);
And for oscillator values that fall below zero, I would try:
x:=LastValue(Ref(Fml("My indicator"),5)+PREV-PREV);
ValueWhen(1,x<>0,x);
