/*
The idea of this test is to have a way that Sierra shows the value scale properly
and also that like how sc.DrawZeros will not display a Subgraph on the chart for 0
we also would like Sierra to not display a Subgraph for FLT_MAX and -FLT_MAX
so Subgraphs can be initialized/used with these extreme values so a study can
display -1, 0, 1 for example during some time periods, and not display
anything during other time periods, like RTH (show) and Globex (hide).

For this example -1, 0, 1 are all valid values and what we want to display when
a given condition is true. There is currently no value you can set
for the Subgraph that will not display anything on the chart when a condition is false and
the study should not diplay anything during that time.

If we think of +/- FLT_MAX as Infinity, then the ask is to have a Subgraph property
like sc.DrawZeros named something like sc.DrawInfinity which could default to
true and not break existing behavior, but would not draw the Subgraphs for
cases 0 and 4 below when false.
*/

int mod = sc.Index % 8;

// When No, use +/- 2 which is really the value/condition we do not want to display.
// As of Sierra v2353, it does not show the values scale properly when we use +/- FLT_MAX.
