I created an OB/OS indicator for the NYSE which is simply a 10 period moving average of the daily difference between advancers and decliners. The difference is created as a composite security in the downloader but only provides daily data points, not a cumulative total like you would need for an advance/decline line. I think you would have to calculate the cumulative total in Excel and then import the results to MetaStock from there

Oh, that much I have conquered now too. I just created a custom function called "cumulate". The function body is simply:

cum(p)

I drop that on the composite and voila, I get the cumulation that I want. I then drag that line onto the DJ30 price chart, with its own scale on the right. Works great.

I'm STILL wondering (but will know in ... 27 hours or so) whether or not the qp_lc program which does the updates from a list to the metastock directory will leave my composite alone.

Hope so. We'll see
