Craig, you guys are awesome! Dude! Thanks. I try to work with that. I'm trying to write an indicator for David J's Magnets. But alas, I have such a simple mind. Sigh. I would like to test for a condition from the beginning of a chart to the end. As each condition tests, a horizontal line is drawn, kept and not tested for again. I was going to start with a finite # of lines, let's say 7. Mtest1 - mtest7 variables would start with the value of 0 and would get a magnet assignment and the indicator would continue until mtest7 had a value >0 and stop. Something like do indicator routine while sum(mtest7) = 0 Only a total of 7 lines would be drawn or better yet, only the amount of lines for which the condition exists. I'm sure i'm approaching this wrong as I have no formal training in computer coding and logic. But it's fun! It is still in it's infancy and I might start on it again as I gave up when I couldn't modify a variable in if statement. Thank you kindly for the answer. bdog
