code question  [SOLVED]

Here is simple code that is applied to an intraday chart with 81 bars in a day.

value1=XAverage(c,100);
value2=value1[81];
if barstatus(1)=2 then print(date," ",time," ",value1," ",value2);

Value2 should show what value1 was 81 bars ago, the same time of day. According to the printout, instead it is showing what Value1 was 94 bars ago.

You should review your result again, I doubt there is a bug for a rudimental operation like this.


What is your chart resolution?
Please post your complete code as well as your output.

hint:

Always always always avoid using generic variable names. ie value1, condition1, etc.,

Variable names are free... they can save you lots of headache in debug time.

Thanks - you completely nailed it - it was using the "value1" that did it...
I did this out of laziness, and don't typically use "value1", but never will again - is this common knowledge?
