Hi Chorlton
> How could I change the colour / style
of the lines, so I know which one is which?
Right click on the one you want to change, go to
properties, and change colour and style to your hearts content.
If you want to plot this indicator on every chart
you open, then save as default template once the colour and style are correct.
Do this by right clicking in an open area of chart and selecting, you guessed
it, "Save as Default Template".
Existing Smart Charts (in MSSMART folders) must be
deleted before MetaStock can create updated charts for those securities.
The MSSMART folders are one level below the data folders. It's just as effective
to delete the MSSMART folders as the MWS files they contain, but whatever you
do, DON'T delete the data files.
> Finally, what is the easiest way to
add a horizontal line at 0 (in the graph) so that I can see the differences
easier?
Add "0;" without the quotes as another plot for
the indicator. See below. I think one of the other replies mentioned that you
can also plot a line by going to the "Horizontal Lines" tab instead of
the "Color/Style" tab.
{Custom Oscillator}
MADifference:=Mov(C,3,E) -
Mov(C,9,E);
MASignal:=Mov(MADifference,16,E);
0; MASignal;
MADifference;
In the event that you want to call the difference
or signal values from the custom indacator using the Fml() function, make
sure that you list the required output last. Using Fml("Custom Indicator") will
call the MADifference plot from the above formula (note I've changed the order
since this morning), and FmlVar("Custom Indicator","MASignal") will call the
signal line if you need it in a test or exploration.
Hope that all makes sense/

Roy Thanks, Chorlton ---
