Hi,

is it possible to plot indicators / PCFs that plot a value that is a result of a condition, for example:

if (c > avgc50 and c > avgc20) then plot 1
if (c > avgc50 and c < avgc20) then plot 2

Thanks in advance,

Dominik

Yes. One way to write it would be:

ABS((C > AVGC50 and C > AVGC20) * plot1 + (C > AVGC50 and C < AVGC20) * plot2)

If you place a Boolean expresion within parentheses as part of a larger Value based formula, it will return -1 if True and 0 if False.
