 Aron,   I did what you suggested...but it just stays at 
0.13 does not re-set or increment .   Here is what I have:   
Buy=Cross(C,EMA(C,19)); Sell=Cross(EMA(C,19),C) ; 
 CumCst=0.00; poslong=0; posshort=0; for (i=1; i < 
BarCount; i++) { if(Buy[i]) { poslong=1; posshort=0; CumCst[i]=0.10; } if(Sell[i]) { poslong=0; posshort=1; CumCst[i]=0.10; }   if(posshort) { if(C[i] < C[i-1]) CumCst[i] = CumCst[i-1] + 0.003; else CumCst[i] = CumCst[i-1]; } if(poslong) { if(C[i] > C[i-1]) CumCst[i] = CumCst[i-1] + 0.003; else CumCst[i] = CumCst[i-1]; } if(CumCst[i] > 0.13) CumCst[i] = 0.13; } per=19; Smth=2/(per+1)+CumCst; MovAvg=AMA(C,Smth); Plot(movavg,"",colorBlue,1); Plot(C,"",1,64);   PlotShapes(Buy*shapeUpArrow,colorGreen,0,L,-20); PlotShapes(Sell* 
shapeDownArrow,colorRed,0,H,-20); Title="cumulative value = "+WriteVal(Cumcst,1.3);

  With the correction "==" to "=" your code works as it should.remove it 
  from the chart window and "apply indicator" again.

        Help with formula 
 
        
 Keith,   Have you tried the formula ? I made the adjustments as you stated 
        still does not work...although I had them the way you suggested earlier...I have been trying but 
        something is not working properly.   Description: When there is a new buy or sell signal the cumCst will reset to 
        0.10 and increment by 0.003 until it gets to a maximum of 0.13, this is not happening with 
        the formula below....I can not see the error, can anyone ?   Here is the complete formula   
        Buy=Cross(C,EMA(C,19)); Sell=Cross(EMA(C,19),C) ;  CumCst=0.00; poslong=0; posshort=0; for (i=1; i < 
        BarCount; i++) { if(Buy[i]) { poslong=1; posshort=0; CumCst[i]=0.10; } if(Sell[i]) { poslong=0; posshort=1; CumCst[i]=0.10; }   if(posshort) { if(C[i] < C[i-1]) CumCst[i] = 
        CumCst[i-1] + 0.003; else CumCst[i] = 
        CumCst[i-1]; } if(poslong) { if(C[i] > C[i-1]) CumCst[i] = 
        CumCst[i-1] + 0.003; else CumCst[i] = 
        CumCst[i-1]; } if(CumCst[i] > 0.13) CumCst[i] = 0.13; } per=19; Smth=2/(per+1)+CumCst; MovAvg=AMA(C,Smth); Plot(movavg,"",colorBlue,1); Plot(C,"",1,64);   PlotShapes(Buy*shapeUpArrow,colorGreen,0,L,-20); PlotShapes(Sell* 
        shapeDownArrow,colorRed,0,H,-20); Title="cumulative value = "+WriteVal(Cumcst,1.3);

          Anthony --
 I have added 
          comments to your code below:
 // 
          Anthony.afl
 
 Buy=Cross(C,EMA(C,19));
 Sell=Cross(EMA(C,19),C) 
          ;
 CumCst=0.00;
 poslong=0;
 posshort=0;
 for (i=1; i < 
          BarCount; i++)
 {
 if(Buy[i])
 {
 poslong==1;    // == doesn't set poslong to 1, it stays 
          0
 posshort==0;   //  use = to set 
          value
 CumCst[i]=0.10;
 }
 
 if(Sell[i])
 {
 poslong==0;
 posshort==1;    // == doesn't set posshort to 1, it 
          stays 0
 CumCst[i]=0.10;  //  use = to set 
          value
 }
 
 if(posshort) // posshort is 0 and code 
          below is never executed
 {
 if(C[i] < C[i-1])
 CumCst[i] = CumCst[i-1] + 
          0.003;
 else
 CumCst[i] = CumCst[i-1];
 }
 
 if(poslong) // poslong is 0 and code below 
          is never executed
 {
 if(C[i] > C[i-1])
 CumCst[i] = CumCst[i-1] + 
          0.003;
 else
 CumCst[i] = CumCst[i-1];
 }
 
   
            
            Keith,   Thanks...but that does not seem to be the problem..when there 
            is a signal buy or sell...cumCST starts at 0.10 and increments by 0.003 
            as per the formula...that is not happening....it must be something 
            else   Anthony
