[amibroker] Does this use of TimeFrameExpand look into the future?

Say you want to make use of indicators from multiple timeframes. Can someone
tell me for certain if code built like this looks into the future at all:

TimeFrameSet(inWeekly);
MyIndicator = SomeFunction(Close);
TimeFrameRestore();
MyIndicator = TimeFrameExpand(MyIndicator, inWeekly, expandLast);
buy = buy and MyIndicator > threshold;
sell = sell and MyIndicator < threshold;

My understanding from the docs is that TimeFrameExpand can look into the
future, but only if you use expandFirst. By using expandLast, the weekly
price isn't available until Friday, at the end of the week, and looking into
the future is avoided.

Do I have that right? The code above doesn't look into the future, even by
part of a day, ever?

Thanks,

Dave
