Hey Chris,
I think you might have it. It only highlights the last bar but that's
ok, as I can add what I had previously for historical bars, and what I
had previsouly was fine for backtesting. Its amazing how such a simple
solution can be a quandry to think of. I'm sure many of the other
helpers would have picked your suggestion as well, but they were
probably trying to mark every prior instance on the chart as I was.
Your input and solution is very much appreciated. I do have one
question though. Without 'lastbaronchart' it doesn't work properly. Why
does putting the True/False function in the formula resolve the issue?
Isn't the lastbaronchart always going to be true?
Cheers,
Adrian
