I created a PCF that gives a result very close to a moving average. When I test the formula, I get a result that makes sense. When I add the PCF as a custom indicator to a chart, however, the resulting line shows points not attainable by the formula. I'm plotting the line in the top with the plot to price option set. The formula I use is:
((V9 * C9) + (V8 * C8) + (V7 * C7) + (V6 * C6) + (V5 * C5) + (V4 * C4) + (V3 * C3) + (V2 * C2) + (V1 * C1) + (V * C))/ (V + V1 + V2 + V3 + V4 + V5 + V6 + V7 + V8 + V9)
How can I get the formula to plot properly?

When I plot your formula as a Custom Indicator with Plot using price scale checked and a Smoothing Average of 1, the resulting plot seems quite reasonable (and I've hand checked some of the results versus the pointer Data Box as well). Please provide some example symbols where the Custom Indicator does not appear to be working correctly so we can investigate the issue further. You may wish to review the following:

How can I send you a screen shot of what I am referring to? A friend of mine said he was able to plot it correctly and after playing with the A L T M L letters that show up on the chart, I can finally get it to display as expected but I'm not sure why. What do the five letters to the bottom right of the top chart mean? They are not always present.

A = Arithmetic (Same dollar difference between grid lines)
L = Logarithmic (Same percentage difference between grid lines)
T,M,and L are custom scaling options:
T = Tight
M = Medium
L = Loose
