Nice indicator. Is it one you mind posting for others?

Here is is, with some explanations

Set iPeriodsX to 0 to disable a timeframe
Show.Valid.Only toggle all results with Sort.Period average < Threshold

StopPeriod, StopiPeriods sets the stoploss calculation, StopMod is the multiplier. you may or may not find this useful :)

If you want pairs other than listed, or need to remove ones that your broker does not carry, you'll have to alter the code in the setPair() function and the number in the array declarations- it should be a self evident modification from the context provided. I could tidy this up myself but its not worth the time investment just now.

Cheers

EDIT: I have niced up II_DB_RANGE:
1. It no longer needs a supporting indi (the code is now cleaner and quicker)
2. It has more pairs available, if you trade something that is not already here, just let me know or tweak the code yourself, it should be contextually obvious.
3. If NOTHING SHOWS UP THIS MEANS YOU HAVE A PAIR ENABLED THAT YOUR BROKER DOES NOT SUPPORT, so just turn it off. I have not found a way to test for this automagically (Blubbb, TRO, or anyone else can feel free to enlighten me).

Thanks for that. I attached it to a chart and it only showed AUDCAD all the way down. Also just listed 0.0 for everything. I took a look at the code and maybe this calls on another indicator "II_Range"?

Doh, II_RANGE attached here, I had intended to include this straight into the dashboard, but never got round to it....

Thanks bredin, is there anything I should do to get the spread column to populate?
Is price closing higher or lower than something? Simple yet powerful question. ..MO
