OK, have found one of MY problems. If I open a new window in MS, as RICHARD stated he did, and drop the OBV indicator in that window then pull down the MA indicator in that same window and make the OBV indicator turn MAGENTA the cross overs remain stable irregardless of the ZOOM settings. If I then bring another MA indicator into the same window and just drop it, WITHOUT letting the OBV indicator turn MAGENTA, the crossover of the OBV on this new MA will change depending on the Zoom setting. Soooo, which one do I use??? Guess, this is the problem when you do not realize what you are trying to accomplish with an indicator :-)). Conclusion: We BEGINNERS should be very careful how we drop indicators into windows using MS(the MECHANICS).

Dick, here is another observation just discovered (Again, using OBV and 40 MA). If I use these indicators in the VOLUME window rather than a NEW INNER WINDOW, I have the crossover problem with the 40 MA irregardless of what I TIE the 40 MA to(VOL, OBV, or neither). This leads me to believe that it MAY be a small bug in MS and that RICHARD is correct in using these type indicators in a separate window rather than overlaying them in the volume window. But, who knows, it could be that the driver or this vehicle has a short circuit between the eyes. :-)) This really concerns me enough to do more testing of OTHER indicators we are using. Any input would be appreciated!!!! Thanks TClaude
