Herman,
Many thanks to you and all the others who provided input on this.
Sorry for the delay in responding but I decided to shut the
computer down while waiting for Ernesto to work his way through
South Florida.
In any case, I now have my study working! I do have a question,
however, on the code that you listed:
Plot(C,"",1,128);
SetBarsRequired(1000000,1000000);
BlankBarsInRightMargin = 4;
Plot(BarIndex()==Status("FirstVisibleBar"),"",5,styleArea|
styleOwnScale,-10,10);
Plot(BarIndex()==Status("LastVisibleBar")-BlankBarsInRightMargin,"",
4,styleArea|styleOwnScale,-10,10);
When I chart this I get a light green line running from left to
right on the chart. At the far left there's a small, vertical
green bar and on the far left there is a red bar. On the far
right of the chart "0.00000" is shown in both red and green.
I've discovered that I can "separate" the red and green bars
(and lines) by adjusting the minimum and maximum setpoints.
I don't understand, however, what generates the green line
between the two bars (or the red line, for that matter).
The Plot statement seems to call for a plot when BarIndex()
is equal to a specific value (the endpoints). I reset the
Plot statement to show BarIndex()>=Status("FirstVisibleBar")
and the green bar expands to fill the entire screen, which makes
sense to me, but I don't see what's generating the line in the
original code. Does the Plot statement assume a zero value if
the statement returns false?
Thanks,
Wayne
