SIMPLE QUESTION, HAVING PROBLEMS.

[drlarryvon]

in code does, shift=Bars-counted_bars-1;  return -1, if there are 500 bars in data history?

so.. then if =-1 does close[shift+.05] reference the 4th bar counting back from the current bar, c1=current bar, so c4 is 4th bar back in series.

or does shift=Bars-counted_bars-1= 0?

If counted_bars==500, then yes.

so.. then if =-1 does close[shift+.05] reference the 4th bar counting back from the current bar,

If accessing an index, you must use integers.

0.05 is not an integer.

Whether it counts back from the current bar depends on whether the array is set as series or not.

sorry misprint, should read as such:n Close[shift+05]

i have attached the file. Does it count back from current bar 5 bars, counting current bar as bar number 1? is array set as series?
 

what does shift-counted_bars-1  equal to?
