[EquisMetaStock Group] Re: Help with coding an indicator

Hi Preston,

Wow.... is it that simple?  I spent quite a long time trying to code 
something :-/

I'll give it a go.... and Many Thanks......

Out of interest, looking at the code, unless the indicator rises it 
will instead use the previous value and move sideways. This is 
definately part of what I'm after. However, Is there any way to reset 
it once the price drops below this indicator level?

In other words, once I get stopped out, i would like the line to 
revert back to Mov(C,10,E)-2*(ATR(10)).

My reasoning for this is that once the price has dropped thru the 
stop level and stabilised I would like to immediately re-enter the 
trade and begin the process again,and obviously at this point the 
price will be trading below what it was previously. Therefore I would 
like the stop line to do the same.  

Is this possible?
