So going through the code... The help I need is to cause the lower bollinger band to stop once the close of the bar is greater than the BB value and the higher bollinger band to stop once the close of the bar is less than the BB value Thanks

Good morning, I have an MQ4 indicator that I need to use in MultiCharts. It would be especiall asesome if I could get it in both 64 and NET versions, but if I had to pick 1, it would be for MC64 powerlanguage.

ZDO, Thanks... however if I understand you... I made a test indi.. TL_New(date[1], time[1], c[1], date, time, c[0] ) ; TL_SetBegin(0, Date, time, c[0] ); TL_SetEnd (0, date, CalcTime(time, BarInterval), c[0] + (c[0] - c[1])); Does not plot forward. Thank you! BR

Hope I can get some help with this... Trying to expend indicator past the current bar(see pic). It is like a trend line, but instead of swinghigh / swinglow, it uses the current close and the close of "X" bars back None of the bars between. in any of these Easy Language, MultiCharts Net or Strategy Trader C Appreciate it!
