[amibroker] Re: optimizing trades based on a foreign CCI not working as expected

Dave,
CCI is an Avg function.
Your request should go with

Plot(CCI(14),"CCI",4,1);
C=Foreign("^NDX","C");H=Foreign("^NDX","H");L=Foreign("^NDX","L"); 
Avg=(C+H+L)/3;
IndexCCI=CCIa(Avg,14);
Plot(IndexCCI,"IndexCCI",1,1);
Buy=Cross(-100,IndexCCI);
Sell=Cross(IndexCCI,100);

All buy/sell signals now will be produced by ^NDX [or any other 
ticker you prefer] CCI crosses.
