John,

You have described the TS static indicator problem that I have griped about
for years.

My answer was to have a technique coded for me that results in indicators
that reflect
the current status of the indicator conditions, and is, therefore, dynamic.
Thus, a
Paint Bar study will paint the current bar if its condition(s) are met,
unpaint it when the condition(s) are no longer met, ad nauseum, and the
close of the bar will be painted according to condition status at that time.

Doug Deming wrote the code for me.  doug@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
