Posted: 07 Mar 2007
If you want to superimpose one indicator on the other, please review the attached screenshots. I used Moving Average and Average True Range as an example.

Of course! It simply hadn't occurred to me that the "Price" parameter in a study could itself be another study, even though that's exactly what I've been doing with the "Custom (n) Line" option.If you want to superimpose one indicator on the other, please review the attached screenshots.

You can find the valid syntax in PLEditor. As to two inputs shown on the second screenshot, only the first input pertains to Average True Range, second one pertains to Alerts.One question - how can one tell the valid syntax of the input? In your example, the Average True Range function is called "Average True Range" with two parameters in the first instance, but coded as "AvgTrueRange" with a single parameter in the second. How do you get from one to the other?
As you know, I'm running MCFX Basic, and all my questions about using indicators on indicators have been in that context. If I understand correctly, PLEditor isn't available to MCFX Basic users. Have I misunderstood?You can find the valid syntax in PLEditor.
Thanks. If this is the same manual as downloadable from your "Online Tutorials" page under "Working with analysis techniques in MultiCharts", I already have it. If not, then I'd be very happy to have it.You are correct, PLEditor is not available in MCFX Basic. In this case you need to know how EasyLanguage functions are written. I can email you EasyLanguage manual to learn more about these functions and their syntax.
