Hi Mark,
Sure, easy, just "comment out " the last line, SignalOutput" by placing it inside curly brackets, i.e.
{SignalOutput}
This will de-activate it. Using the { ... } turns commands into comments. Doing this is a good way to debug your Metastock formula language code. If you have taken some care to write a long piece of code and don't want to delete it, but something isn't working quite right, just try commenting out parts until you isolate what is wrong.
Best wishes,
TonyM

Hi Tony,
Thanks for your email and comments. I am testing the indicator
mentioned below, and was wondering if its possible to remove the
buy/sell signals from it?
Thanks in advance.

..... ??? However an alternative, longer and less elegant (but
perhaps more "English language-like" ) coding of your concept might be:

high. Therefore I suggest that you re-examine your indicator, forget
about the low volume threshold (because nothing much is happening
then), try adjusting the high volume threshold value a bit, and use
this high volume response not as a buy indicator (your original
concept) but rather as an an indicator for TURNING POINTS, which could
be EITHER tops or bottoms.
