LeftRightMarginStripe

[JustinaM]

Hello, I have been using this indicator on NT7 and have tried to convert it over to NT8 but I haven't the skills to see where I'm at currently. Can anyone help finish it up please, ChrisL has done as much as he could to get me close but he is unable to go further and so it's not much left from what he has done to help me...I'm thankful for his help and any help from the community that someone can provide.
