Re: Why does this TrendLine function fails at times?

[TaoOfDow <TaoOfDow@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear Ernie,

I had problems getting multiple prints as time went forward and was able to
solve that as follows (I'm using text here, but trendline works the same):

Var:    ID(-1),
            OldID(-1);

Value1 = [what I'm wanting to plot];

IF LastBarOnChart THEN BEGIN
 OldID = ID;
  IF OldID <> -1 THEN Value11 = Text_Delete(OldID);
  ID = Text_New(D,T+10,C,NumToStr(Value1,2));
 Text_SetStyle(ID,0,0);
 Text_SetColor(ID,8);
END;

Congratulations on your pig.

Sincerely,

Richard
