Bill: The overlay function is designed so that you can overlay indicators with different scales -- for example, if you want to look at CCI and MACD in one window and compare when they're changing direction. If you don't use "overlay" and try to add to a window an indicator with a different scale, you'll get a message warning: "New plot scale may not be compatible with other plots in window pane." But there are times when that doesn't matter, and you want to go ahead and plot two indicators with two different scales in one window. That's what "overlay" is for. Brooke

Subj: Trendlines? Obviously I'm trying to work with trendlines the hard way, and I hope someone here can tell me the right way to do it. What I would like to do is to bring up a template of various indicators I follow, load a stock into it from my list of stocks I follow and then perhaps draw a trendline or add some text or whatever. When I'm done with that chart I'd like to click the icon to the next stock in the list, etc. When I do this in the obvious way, the trendlines apparently are attached to the template rather than the stock because the same trendline from stock "A" now shows up on "B", and anything I've done with "B" in the past is nowhere to be seen. The only solution I've found is to save and load each stock individually which is quite a pain. There must be some way to just click through the list and see the relevant trendlines for each individual stock. Can someone set me on the right path? Thanks. Bill Martin
