Cholrton,
As the indicator is displayed as two separate
items (MADifference and MASignal),
each of these can have different attributes such as colour, style etc.
To change them right click on one of the lines, select the properties
menu item, and then select the “Colour/Style” tab.
Adding a Zero “0” line can be done two ways, firstly by
adding into the code a 0 (see below).
Secondly you do the steps above to display the properties box and this
time select the “Horizontal lines” tab.
{Custom Oscillator}
MADifference:=Mov(C,3,E) - Mov(C,9,E);
MASignal:=Mov(MADifference,16,E);
MADifference; MASignal;
0; {Zero Line}
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Tim Hyder

Thanks Roy
for the quick reply,
May I ask 2 further questions?
How could I change the colour / style of the
lines, so I know which
one is which?
Finally, what is the easiest way to add a
horizontal line at 0 (in
the graph) so that I can see the differences
easier?
Thanks,
Chorlton
