Re: Normalising ranges

Your chart is normalized between the lowest low and the highest high of
whatever # bars in chart you have.  Your indicators are plotted on the chart
similarly between their highest highs and lowest lows.  For each indicator
give these points the value 100 and 0, and you get comparable values which
do cross.

Example:
New Indicator= (Your Indicator - LL)*100/(HH-LL)

Good luck.
