Hello Edward. Thank you for helping. Please bear with me I am not a programmer but learning. I simply took two of the lines of code you sent me which are : PlotShapes(IIf(Buy,shapeUpArrow,shapeNone),colorGreen,0,L,-15); PlotShapes(IIf(Sell,shapeDownArrow,shapeNone),colorRed,0,H,-15);
I placed these in my Formula Editor File along with the code to my system and received an error message which said: Variable 'buy' used without having been initialized. Variable 'sell' used without having been initialized. Just curious what I need to accomplish to enlarge the buy and sell arrows.
