I was 
inspired by your words of praise, so I decided to try saving the chart and also 
saving it as a template.

Unfortunately 
MetaStock appears to favour the base security and both chart and template (when 
applied) revert to the original version where "masking indicator" is 
overlaid on top of the base security plot.

Can always 
CUT and PASTE each time - or maybe it's time to go back to bar 
charts!!

MikeThe ability to turn a 
  plot on and off would be nice but there is nopractical way to do it at the 
  moment.  It's easily possible to truncate aplot at either end of any 
  given signal even though there are code overheadsin doing so. Moving one 
  step further requires another whole set of solutionsthat I feel is really 
  beyond the scope of MS formula language. However Iprefer to think of 
  situations like merely as obstacles to which thesolutions haven't been 
  found yet rather than that no solutions are possible.I'm impressed 
  with your method of getting your trail UNDER the candles. Anice piece of 
  lateral thinking.I've had some success with covering up transitions 
  and blanking initial zeroplots (turning from zero to N/A) so let me know 
  if there's any way I mightbe able to advance the cause a little 
  further.Roy
