Re: Indicator line query:

You will need to set the scaling on both indicators to the same "User defined" values in the "Format Indicator", "Scaling" dialog. And both have to be displayed in the same subgraph, obviously.

If you do not do this, TradeStation selects the scale for each indicator separately and the values will not line up.
