I am trying to put together an indicator that uses the 'Security("SPX",Close)' function; I am using daily data, and from what I can gather through testing, I am getting a quarterly close instead of the daily close. As you can guess, this isn't too good on daily data. I have not even looked at quarterly charts in months, so I don't know where this could be coming from. Ideas?

You're looking at one of MetaStock's "features". Hopefully it will be fixed in upcoming versions. :wink: In the meantime, avoid changing either the loaded dates or periodicity whilst plotting it, and reference your security data from within another indicator thus: [code:1:0b5a34b6f2] ======== path SPX ======== ---8<----------- Security("SPX",C) ---8<----------- [/code:1:0b5a34b6f2] ... and reference it in your final indicator: [code:1:0b5a34b6f2] ============== your indicator ============== ---8<----------- x:=Fml("path SPX"); {...} x ---8<----------- [/code:1:0b5a34b6f2] jose '-) http://www.metastocktools.com
