One way is to use something along the lines of: writeif(lastvalue(cum(1))>200,"The 200 day EMA is at writeval(mov(c,200,e))","") Hope this helps. wabbit :D [edited bit] Actually you dont need the last set of quotes (the return if false part) but I include them anyway, it helps the readability as I already have in my mind that for every IF statement there is going to be a TRUE and FALSE return. If you are struggling for space in your commentary, use the abbreviated form: writeif(lastvalue(cum(1))>200,"200 EMA: writeval(mov(c,200,e))")

Patrick, This is another one of those occassions where the logic in MS has me perplexed. We should be able to do something along the lines of: writeif(isdefined(mov(c,200,e)),"The 200 day EMA is at writeval(mov(c,20,e))","") without generating errors, but it does generate errors due that awry logic discussed already on other forum threads. Any chance of reviewing this one in future versions? wabbit :D
