There's Something for Everyone Here!

["Tom Cathey" <K1JJ@xxxxxxx>]

Hi Everyone -

I made it a habit to scan the great influx of code hitting the list to find
new ways of doing things for the future.

JACKPOT!   I must test this out, but it appears that the code posted by
Hans for the regression channels contains a way to mark text on the chart,
then have these points passed on into variables for calculations.

What this means to me is finally a way to MANUALLY label an Elliot Wave
chart and then have these points available for calculations and indicator
stuff, etc......    All Right, Hans!   ---  Didn't know it could be done in
TS 4.0...

Will check it out tonight.


Later all,


Tom Cathey
