Hi Chorlton
One way of identifying the last bar of a data array
or chart is this.
LastValue(Cum(1))=Cum(1);
You could accumulate almost any small whole
number within both Cum() functions and it would work just as well.
Accumulating "1" can be useful in other ways, such as identifying any bar number
within an array. With a small adjustment to the above code you can locate and
mark the bar X bars before the last bar.
LastValue(Cum(1))-X=Cum(1);
The last bar could also be defined as
LastValue(Cum(1))-0=Cum(1);
So to find the bar 10 bars before the last bar
(11th from last) you would use.
LastValue(Cum(1))-10=Cum(1);
Since the constant, 10 in this case, isn't used as
the periods parameter in a function it can be calculated as a variable to
provide a variable marker point for different charts. Of course it must
still be a whole number, or the test for equality will fail.
To mark the required bar you could create a symbol
in the expert forming part of your default template (or add an expert to the
template if you don't already have one), and use the code as the condition for
displaying your chosen symbol.
Hope this helps.

Subject: [EquisMetaStock Group] Highlighting a point "x" number of
days away?
Hi All,
I have a question and would welcome any
help / advice.
I currently have a template in Metastock which contains 4
windows.
Window 1 contains an oscillator (with 2 MA lines), Window 2
contains
price data & some MA's, Window 3 contains volume and Window 4
contains a RSI.
I would like to find some way of highlighting a point
on the chart
(in windows 1 & 2) that is "x" number of days back from the
current
day. I don't mind how this is achieved but if possible some form of
symbol such as an coloured arrow or something similar would be
useful.
At the moment, I am having to physically count back x number of
days
which is very time consuming especially considering the number of
charts I am currently looking at.
Therefore, what is the easiest way
to highlight this point in time??
Many thanks in
advance,
Chorlton
