We have been talking about the spectacular performance of various stock market indices during May in our office. I then suggested that as far as my memory goes, the month of May in general goes sideway and what we just witnessed is something very unusual. Since it is hard to just talk about history without an actual picture of what I meant, I have produced a chart that highlights the month of May every year to illustrate my point.

In writing indicators, there is a special technique called Meta Style that change the way how an indicator is displayed based on the number of plots it has. It is a very useful technique in providing display styles that are not possible with traditional lines and histograms. 
I am going to demonstrate the programming techniques for writing Tick Precise indicators. These techniques are equally applicable to those who like to implement TP indicators using scripts (DelphiScript or VBScript) or regular programming language through the ActiveX based IDL object model.
All the tutorials so far focus on how to write indicator. However, there are some fundamental options related to indicators that we have to cover now.
The FML indicator is one of the most useful and handy indicator in NeoTicker. Whenever you need to get some customized calculation done in a chart, it is the first tool to try out.
One of the unique capabilities of NeoTicker indicator is its ability to process multiple time frame (MTF) information easily. I am going to explore the basic techniques of using MTF within formula indicator.
We will talk about the more advanced features in the formula language that deals with multi-plot indicators. 
I am going to discuss the use of Local Variables in formula indicators. I will also demonstrate the programming technique called recursion that can help resolve many problems related to indicator programming.
So far we have worked on indicators with a single statement only. Although that can create many useful indicators, it may not be enough if we need to create indicators with multiple plots, or results that depends on multiple intermediate values.
