MA Background

[gwika]

Hello;
Is there a way to comment out the MA's in the efs? I just want the chart to change colors and not show the moving averages.
Enclosed is the efs.
Thanks for your time..Greg

If you do not want to plot the averages just change the return statement to the following

return ;//new Array (vMA1.getValue(MAStudy.MA), vMA2.getValue(MAStudy.MA)); 

This way you can always go back to the original return statement
