Given two charts, if you drag one security to the other chart, is there any way to attach an expert to the 2nd security?
I mainly want to use the "Highlight" feature on the 2nd security.

In short... No you cannot attach the expert advisor to the second security.
Expert Advisors are attached to the underlying or foundation security. You could use some code to add to exisiting Expert Advisor or create another indicator to achieve an alternative result.

If you are only showing the second security as a line, you can write an indicator along the lines of : Code:
ind:=Security("my other security",C);
highlight1:=(ind>criteria)*ind;
highlight2:=(ind<=criteria)*ind;
This will mess the scaling somewhat if the security price is quite large (absolutely) compared to zero, so you might want to add some scaling factor to keep the indicator within a suitable range. wabbit [:D]

When I try that, the line drops vertically to zero. Is there an equivalent function to Excel's "NA()", which would stop anything from being plotted?
The problem seems to be when the indicator causes either value to be zero (so the other will plot).

JJ, You can avoid overscaling by using o third indicator, coloured the same as the background, to obscure the variant points in the first two plots. If you plot all these as points as recommended, then you can have a more useful result with minimum fuss. e.g. Code:
{using some 'tricks' to prevent overscaling of the plot}
ind:=Security("TLS",C);
h1:=If(ind>=Mov(ind,20,S),ind,ind-.2);
h2:=If(ind<=Mov(ind,20,S),ind,ind-.2);
h3:=ind-.2;
{plot us points of weight 2 with whatever colours}
h1;h2;
{plot me as points with heaviest weight and colour the same as the chart background}
h3;
