The spike is actually less than it would otherwise be. The value of the
denominator was 0 and I caused it to be .001. Thus, I cause an infinite
value of DMIPlus/DMIMinus to be brought down to something not infinite.
The problem with your code, above, is that you allow DMIMin to be 0. You
just don't call the plot function when it is 0. But, remember, the plot is
not of DMIPlus/DMIMinus. The plot is of XAverage(DMIPlus/DMIMinus). Thus,
you need to ensure that not only is DMIMinus non-zero on the current bar,
but also that it does not have zeros in its history.
