Bruce,
A while back you created a version of ADX for me which uses 13 DI lines and an 8 for ADX (code below).  It works great on the chart.  However, when I try to put it on the watchlist as a sort item, the numbers are incorrect.  Can you tell me what is wrong?  
Thanks,
Joe




'# Period = UserInput.Integer = 8
Static DX As Single
Static DMp As Single
Static DMn As Single
Static DMIp As Single
Static DMIn As Single
Static ADX As Single
Static termratio As Single
Static weight As Single
Static sumweight As Single
If isFirstBar Then
 DMIp = 0
 DMIn = 0
 ADX = 0
 termratio = (Period - 1) / Period
 weight = 1
 sumweight = 1
Else
 If Price.High > Price.High(1) And _
  Price.High - Price.High(1) > Price.Low(1) - Price.Low Then
  DMp = Price.High - Price.High(1)
 Else
  DMp = 0
 End If
 If Price.Low(1) > Price.Low And _
  Price.Low(1) - Price.Low > Price.High - Price.High(1) Then
  DMn = Price.Low(1) - Price.Low
 Else
  DMn = 0
 End If
 DMIp = DMIp * (1 - weight) + weight * DMp
 DMIn = DMIn * (1 - weight) + weight * DMn
 DX = 100 * System.Math.Abs(DMIp-DMIn)/(DMIp+DMIn+.00000001)
 ADX = ADX * (1 - weight) + weight * DX
 sumweight = sumweight * termratio + 1
 weight = 1 / sumweight
End If
Plot = ADX

#Cumulative

When I add this line to the end, it gives me a error message.

Try up top.  Here is a snip from another piece of code

'#Cumulative
'# Stoc = indicator.Stochastics.3

You can ignore the STOC line, it's just there for perspective.

Also note the apostrophe, which I think is needed.

The line is

'#Cumulative

and cause items moved to the watchlist to use all data. Without it on;y a subset of data is used. For cummulative indicators the value win't match the chart without declaring

'#Cumulative

exact match of the string is required. A space after the # will cause it not to be interpreted.

Placing it at the top with the other '# lines is better form but not required.
