// This indicator will mark the newest bar with an arrow if its high/Low

// exceeds the input MA by the input number of pips. There is also

// an alert feature that can be selected.

//

//

// Input Parameters:

//

// InputMAVal - the number of periods to be used by the MA calculation. - the number of periods to be used by the MA calculation.

// InputMAtype - the type of MA to be used for MA calculation.

// PipSignal - the arrow appears if this number of pips above/below the MA is exceeded.

// NoAlert - controls whether an audible alert is given.

//

// Modification History:

// Oct 26 09 - Ted Goulden, Initial Version

// Oct 28 09 - Ted Goulden, added comment string

// Feb 07 10 - flyer415 , can now select other MA inputs

Re: Pipsmark V3 Indicator

As you know, the indicator has as reference point the moving average; specified by the user and that determines its range by the number of pips selected. Could any programmer in this forum, (Williams, SEFC or Sharpeye) please 'fix it' in a way that the reference point could be any price (input) by the user instead of only the MA? >:) Thanks
