Sorry Doug, that's what I meant. I didn't know about TS doing it differently to MC. It certainly seems more logical. I tend to write my indicators specifically for a line or histogram, so set the colour 1 bar back or on the current bar as required. Of course if you want to the change the line type y...

No problem here with lines or histograms. When setting the colour of the current bar there's a subtle difference between histograms and lines. With a histogram, the current bar is coloured with your new colour. With a line, it's the segment from the current bar to next that takes the new colour. ie....

Am I correct in thinking that ASCII mapping of data isn't done on a live basis. ie. when the file is updated MC doesn't do any automatic refreshing?
Also, it would appear, you can't do a manual refresh either. You have to re-open the chart?
Thanks
