Hello Jack,

I don't know what indicator you're referring to but I've written a
Lunar Phases indicator that changes color based upon the phase of the
Moon.  It uses the standard Lunar calculations for Moon phases but
the accuracy of the calculations are limited because the variables
only use single precision (Current Easy Language limitation).

What this means is that the calculations are only accurate to within
a half-day.  Still it is reasonably close and is interesting to
watch.  Better precision would require an external DLL module for its
calculations.  To see what I mean, copy the code into Visual basic or
Quick Basic, remove the Easy Language constructs and use Double
Precision variables for a comparison.

Here is what the indicator does:
Based upon each days calculation, the program determines the current
phase of the moon and then plots a colored dot in a subgraph.  The
position of the dot in the subgraph is determined by the day count.
One and 28-29 at the bottom 14-15 at the top all others in the middle
some place.

Colors used are follows:
   Dark blue for New moon
   Gray for Quarter Moon
   Light Blue/Gray for half Moon
   Bright White for Full Moon

>From a market perspective, I haven't found how it might be useful.
However, it does make me smile when a discussion group suddenly
launches an off the wall tangent.

     The is an indicator for supercharts, that plots out the full
moons
across the bottom of a chart. (the delta phenomenon). The plots are a
vertical line, that can be color coded. If anyone has this ela, could
you
post it here?

Thanks,
Jack
