Hi,

Does anyone know of a way to plot discrete values with a custom indicator? Or more precisely, is there a way to force Metastock into not plotting anything when a given condition is false, as apposed to Metastock plotting 0, so as to create an indicator with discontinuities?

Thanking you in advance for your help,
Matt

hey matt..... you can trick meta into not plotting the 0 if false ...... or at least a long as no negative numbers are involved.....

we can have indicators where we see nothing more than dashes/trues.... create your indicator first, set style to histogram dots , size to 4 and then limit the window to something like a minimum of .2   .......  

 quick example below will give ya an idea of how.....h

 

------------------------------

{set style to histogram dots, size to 4  and set window minimum to .2}

a:= If(C>Mov(C,3,S),1,0);
aa:=If(C>Mov(C,10,S),2,0);
aaa:=If(C>Mov(C,10,S),3,0);
aaaa:=If(C>Mov(C,20,S),4,0);

a;aa;aaa;aaaa;

------------------------------

It works! Fortunately I don’t need to plot negative numbers,

Thanks for your help,
Matt
