Continue Drawing Line Until Indicator Crosses Above

[koganam]

I understand. Now I see a ray of hope.
I'll check back from time to time.
Thanks.

It would certainly be easier if I just posted a complete indicator. However, due to the returns (insults or lack of requested feedback), that I have received from at least 3 ingrates on this forum, I decided and published, on this very forum, my decision that I would never provide any complete indicator to anybody ever again for free. That means that while, I may post the entire code for an indicator, that code will be posted as text, not as a complete importable indicator, ready for use. While that may violate the spirit of my decision, it certainly holds to the text of it.

What that means is that I will provide the code that you want for the Long side; the Short side will follow the same ideas. You will have to copy and paste the code into the correct places in a new indicator that you write (or modify your current one, as required).

It would certainly be easier if I just posted a complete indicator.

Wow!
The Long side works just as I asked.
Thank you so much for this. I could never have come up with this by myself
copying and pasting. You saved me so much time.
You are the best!

You are going to ask them to think and learn rather than hand it to them. What an awesome idea.
