hi i was wondering if there was a way to build an indicator that is the inverse of the price action of a line chart?
Such as when you can make the chart inverse, i want that to overlap the upright chart? if someone can tell me if there is a way to do this i would greatly appreciate it.
thanks,
fousc

What about the negative function? I can't test it now, but it might be worth checking into.
neg( data array)
e.g. neg(Close)

Try this:
[code:1:6b0657efc6]x:=C;
hi:=LastValue(Highest(x));
lo:=LastValue(Lowest(x));
hi+lo-x
[/code:1:6b0657efc6]

Thanks G stock man.
neg(close) for the indicator works.
But to make it overlapping you must choose "display new scale on the left" for the scaling option.

hey fousc..... if i'm understanding you correctly, your huntin for a way to have 'aapl' displayed in the proper perspective and then in the exact same pane have 'aapl' displayed inverse.... if thats the case....
open 'appl' in the normal manner....
then invert the right hand scale....
then open 'aapl' from a different folder.... right click on the price bars and select copy.... paste that onto the inverted 'aapl'..... choose the option to display with new scale on left.... it should paste as the first 'aapl'..... now right click on the left hand scale and uncheck 'invert scale'.... it should invert and the apples should cross.....
sounds like alot but after the second time its a breeze.... comes in handy for 'vix' and such as you likely know.....holler back if ya don't follow, i'll post it better.....h
