Re: Horizontal Price Line
I've attached my modified version of this same indicator. It also works well on TPO charts, which isn't always true of the original. It should never go vertical, and I do not find that it lags.

Opening Range w/ Overnight Session High/Low
Shared also on Twitter @ https://twitter.com/confirmsignal/status/1430574932367482884?s=20 , inspired by the OP of that thread who made a similar indicator for Trading View. This indicator plots horizontal lines according to the opening range of the security's high and low value, as well as the high...

Re: Simulate Manual Trading in Data Playback mode [SOLVED]

Re: Linear Regression Line w/ Difference Histogram
Glad you like it! Be careful with it, as with all "overbought"/"oversold" indicators, they have a way of always looking like they work even if they are not tradeable. They "cheat". If the price is really high above the line, it doesn't mean the price will come back to the line - the line could go up...

So, I took the built-in linear regression line indicator and added a difference histogram to it. Make sure you plo...

Re: Method to Sync MultiCharts Database + Studies Across Computers
Update after some use:
It's a tad buggy. I seem to only be able to launch the PowerLanguage .NET Editor through MultiCharts, not directly. Sometimes I get a weird error. Still no major data loss or anything of that nature.

Re: Variable issue - unexpected outcome during the calculation [SOLVED]
I'm not sure (new to MultiCharts), but I think this happened in the same bar, not the next bar. I think your code allows for your buy signal to be triggered, and then the sell signal to be triggered on the same bar. Try making that second "if" an "else if" to force only one to be executed per bar an...
