Modification Request

This indicator places a chart of a second currency in the bottom pane of the original chart.

Is there any way it can be modified to have a mirroring option for the second currency?
I would like to be able to invert it.

Thank you.

Hi Bill,

Hope this is what you're after.

Cheers & profits,

David,
That's exactly what I wanted.

Thank you, Sir.

Hey David,

It works perfectly except for inverting the USD/JPY.

I'm sure you can tell at a glance what's wrong. I assume it's the scaling.

Thanks again.

The problem is caused by doji candles (i.e. open = close) on any xxxJPY pair.

The indy in its original form rounds the value to the number of places in the pair, i.e. for xxxJPY pairs one 'point' = .001
Then it subtracts 1 point from the open price on dojis so that the open doesn't equal the close, thus creating a non-zero height difference between open and close on the histograms that are plotted, allowing us to see a horizontal line on the artificial 'candle' (these 'candles' are actually comprised of 4 overlapping histograms, two for the body, and two for the wicks).

To invert the price I was simply using the reciprocal, e.g. USDJPY = 80.000, and therefore 1/USDJPY = 1/80 = 0.0125
But because the indy was subtracting 0.001 on dojis, and rounding to 3 places on xxxJPY pairs, we were getting values ~0.012 for all of O,H,L,C on all non-dojis, but ~0.011 for dojis, the now-significant difference creating the ugly white vertical bars in your screenshot.

To remedy this, I've now added code that, if an inverted xxxJPY chart is being plotted, increases the precision from 3 to 8 digits. Hence it's now subtracting 0.00000001 instead of 0.001 on dojis. This makes it more difficult to see the horizontal line on the resulting doji 'candle', but effectively fixes the problem I've described.

Rather than attach the fix to this post, I've overwritten my original attachment so that the buggy version can no longer be downloaded. I see that the latter had been downloaded 90 times already!

That did it.

I appreciate it.

Thank you.
