Hi,

I am using meta stock, it uses e Signal. The data comes to down loader on a 5 minutes basis. Assume the down loader has value as 5900, I need my down loader to be added with 5 points or subtract 5 points, it should be 5905 or 5895.

I will have the added values in a separate symbol and subtracted value in separate symbol. Hence I will have 3 live charts. They are actual value, added value and subtracted value. How can I do this ?

Let me know if i am not clear. I am not an expert in programming, your help will be very useful.

thanks

Security("Online:$SPX",C) - 5

or

Security("C:\MetaStock Data\Indexes\$SPX",C) - 5

The C is for Close price, but you could reference other data arrays High, Low, Open, Volume, then we just subtract 5 from the Close value. Could do the same thing with addition to add 5 points.

Keep in mind that a Security function call is done through the Indicator Builder. It is not designed to be a Base Security chart but to be plotted in another chart.

The only way to really make a base security chart would be to make a Copy of the security in the Downloader (Tools-->Copy) and then use the Tools-->Adjust-->Data command to add or subtract a value from any of the data arrays.
