Probably but it's beyond my abilities.

It's easy if you combine both indicators within 1 new indicator. Then the variable list in the new indicator contains all the variables from both indicators.

If you write a new indicator that includes the code from both of the other indicators then their values can be passed back and forth between them.

I think a filter based on a larger timeframe like 30 mins could of denied shorting permission over most of the period you backtested.

Pick a name for a variable. var: myVariable(0); Set the variable equal to your indicator. myVariable=myIndicator; If your indicator is average(c,5) that part looks like this. myVariable=average(c,5); To call your indicator within a second indicator use it's name in the place you...

Thanks for the tip on "Plastics".

Sounds good.
