Thanks again to both of you. I did study both. Must admit that I will have to
study one that reads csv file a few more times to understand. I did apply and
it works just fine. As a learning experience, I created the following. It
does not read from a csv file which is what I wanted, but I t

Hi BisTrader,
No need to study it (unless you want to). It should work if you just do the

Sebastian and bistrader,
That is a very clean, fast, and simple solution, Sebastian. I actually

However, I kind of got carried away and wrote it the hard way reading a
csv file directly with the string functions. This code could be used to
plot user-defined p

Paul,
Thanks.
Two items. First, I would like the overlay to extend from the top to the
bottom of the chart. Is there a way to do this? I remember seeing a chart
someplace that did this but can not find it. Second, I would like to place the
