I have just began to use the Trailing Stop Indicator but every time I change the % stop i.e. change the .82 in HHV(C,100)*.82 this change is made to all charts that I have added this indicator too not just the current chart. I am not sure why this is as it doesn't happen with other indicators i.e. I can change RSI 14 to RSI 16 on one chart without affecting other charts. I use MS 7.22. Any help would be appreciated.

I believe the HHV(C,100)*.82 is a customer indicator. Correct? When you change the number with-in the indicator it will change it on all the charts. That is a function of custom indicators. Regards Doc

To avoid the global parameter changes, try using user inputs in your custom indicator: [code:1:269821f7f5]pr:=Input("Percentage",50,200,82)/100; pds:=Input("Lookback periods",1,260,100); HHV(C,pds)*pr [/code:1:269821f7f5] Also take a look at some of the more sophisticated trailing stops available from MetaStockTools.com. jose '-)
