Hi,

You may find the Formula Primers useful which can be accessed at https://www.metastock.com/customer/resources/formulas/primer.aspx

In this case, you can create a custom formula in the Indicator Builder that simply subtracts one data array from the other. In MetaStock you would click Tools > Indicator Builder, then click New. Give the formula a Name, then enter the following into the Formula box:

Code:
H-L

Afterwards you can access your custom indicator from the Indicator Quicklist at the top of MetaStock, or using the Insert > Indicator menu option.

Hi again,

Unfortunately, something like this would not be possible if I understand what you are looking to do. The closest thing would be Expert Symbols, but these are only Text-based labels not formula-based. I have written up a suggestion for future improvement to see if we could add a formula-based label for the Expert Advisor symbols, but this would likely be a long-term update if we are able to do something like this in the future.

There are things you could do to see these values through tools like the Expert Commentary, or using the Data Window with the indicator overlaid in the price window, but none of these would offer a quick at-a-glance view of the information that I think you are looking for.
