Dear Trainer:
Is there a way to label either the middle or bottom panels in telechart with a name for a customer indicator?
I bought a add on package for telechart from Dr. Alexander Elder and in one of his custom indicators he labeled the name of the customer indicator with the name of the indicator. He used the following brackets around the indicator name {indicator name}. I tried it within telechart and I got a error message "missing argument".
Can you help me?

Richard,

There is no formal way of labeling the indicators in the window. However, the method you've described can work. Here's an example:
Closevs50xma) (C/XAVGC50).

If I put that as the formula for my custom indicator, the indicator calculates the second part (C/XAVGC50), but the first part (Closevs50xma). I leave off the first parenthesis on the name because the program automatically supplies one. It's a workaround that I use.

Michael T:
Many thanks for answering my question regarding labeling a custom indicator in either the middle or lower panel:
I tried your suggestion by leaving off the first (, leaving several spaces and then entering the formula without success.
I entered:
Force Index) (C-C1)*V.
I still got the first error message.
What am I doing wrong?
Your suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

energized,

I did mention this is a workaround...and your title proved it!

The 'o' in Force is being read as the symbol for Open...so if you make your title F0rce Index) (C-C1)*V (using a zero) it works.
