What do you mean by "set the start date" for an indicator? How are you doing this? What else is in your code? Are you using functions such as SelectedValue(), etc.?

Hello, I am most grateful, this solved problem 2. Strangely enough, it only partially resolved problem number 1. If I set the startdate to 2000-03-07, when our market topped out, and zoom in, the arrows then disappear when I reach 2003-03 as the left boundary in the chart. Very strange. Also, still no arrows in weekly or monthly charts using my calculation. This however is only a minor issue. What I would like to achieve now is that the arrows do not disappear when I zoom in. I thank you very much for the assistance provided so far.

Jan Check out the Plotshapes in the Help file, then try this. MA1 = EMA(C,10); MA2 = EMA(C, 30); Plot(C,"", 16,64); Plot(MA1,"", 17, 1); Plot(MA2,"", 18,1); XUP = Cross(MA1,MA2); XDN = Cross(MA2,MA1); PlotShapes( IIf(XUP,shapeUpArrow,Null),colorGreen, 0, L, -20); // plots green arrow in default layer (0), 20 pixels below the Low PlotShapes( IIf(XUP,shapeUpArrow,Null),colorLime, 0, MA2, -35); // plots lime arrow in default layer (0), 35 pixels below the MA2 value PlotShapes( IIf(XUP,shapeDownArrow,Null),colorRed, 2, H, -45); // plots red arrow in Daily chart layer (2), 45 pixels above the High PlotShapes( IIf(XUP,shapeDownArrow,Null),colorPink, 3, H, -35); // plots pink arrow in weekly chart layer (3), 35 pixels above the High Works for me back to 2000 whether I am zoomed in or out, scroll or not.
