Re: Plot scaling

Jeff,

Instead of changing the chart scaling, why not have the indicator not plot
until the NQ gets close to the limit.  Something like:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
---------
Inputs: MyGap(10);         {Set to price difference where you want to see
Limit Line}

Variables:  LimitD(0), NoPlot(0);

If Date <> Date[1] then Begin    {Execute only on first bar of each day}
    LimitD = Close[1] - 65;           {Capture the previous day's close and
subtract 65}
    NoPlot = 0;                              {Reset, so you don't plot until
price is close to limit down}
End;

If Low < (LimitD + MyGap) then NoPlot = 1;  {Start plotting, continue for
rest of today}
If NoPlot = 1 then plot1(LimitD, "Limit");
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------

This code verifies in TS 4, but I don't have data for the NQ so I can't test
it.  I hope it helps.
