Hi George, I'll start now to explain more about your two main indicators: "George-K - Extended Binary signal" "George-K - Extended Binary test" Both these indicators are very similar to each other - they both take a signal, and extend it for exactly three months. The "George-K - Extended Binary signal" indicator takes its original trigger signal from your "George-K - Original signal" indicator. The "George-K - Extended Binary test" indicator takes its trigger signal from its own date user input. The purpose of this second indicator is to test that both indicators indeed work as intended, that they both extend a signal accurately and exactly by three months. You can input any date in this test indicator, and you will see that the +1 signal continues from that date until exactly three months later. Once you can see that the indicators are accurate, you can then try experimenting with their user inputs: "Extend original signal by x periods" This user input allows other periods to be used - the default value is 3 (months). Choosing "0" will just plot the signal, "1" will extend that signal for 1 month, "2" for two months and so on. "Extension periods, use: [1]Weeks, [2]Months" This user input allows the choice of using either weeks or months for the signal extension. Choosing [1] will extend the signal by the previous user input number of weeks (3 weeks in this case). "Fill binary signal? [1]Yes, [0]No" This user input allows the extended signal to be "filled" by some lines, so that it is easier to see. It is not an important variable, and does not affect the extended signal at all. Once you understand the purpose of the "George-K - Extended Binary signal" indicator, then it's time to use it by referencing it in other indicators, or easier still, copying it as a separate indicator. Let's say that you wanted to trigger the following condition, but only for three months since the original trigger: condition:=C>Mov(C,21,S); The easiest method would be to make a copy of the "George-K - Extended Binary signal": MetaStock -> Tools -> Indicator Builder -> select "George-K - Extended Binary signal" indicator -> Copy. You would now have a new indicator named "George-K - Extended Binary signal(2)". Edit this indicator, and change these last few lines of code in it: >From original code: { Plot in own window } If(fill*extSignal,even,0); If(fill*extSignal,odd,0); extSignal To your new condition: { Plot in own window } condition:=C>Mov(C,21,S); extSignal*condition Your new "George-K - Extended Binary signal(2)" will now only plot the condition C>Mov(C,21,S) for three months after the original signal. Anyway, I'll leave you now to ask any questions. Regards, jose http://www.metastocktools.com

Yes. The modified "George-K - Extended Binary signal" will work correctly.

The Project End! I hope to understand it very well! Kind Regards, George Kanellopoulos.

Hi George, I believe that I can code your indicator using MetaStock formula language As I understand it: Extend binary signal (+1/0) for exactly three calendar months, and reset and start counting again if a new signal appears in the meantime. Regards, jose

Please, for this Project, first see the 3 Topics: 1) NEW VERY IMPORTANT MESSAGE. 2) ANSWER FROM JOSE 1. 3) ANSWER FROM JOSE 2. Then go to Topic: Message for that Formula Project., and Start to read the Project! I APOLOGIZE TO ALL... FOR THAT!!! Kind Regards, George Kanellopoulos.
