  Herman,
  No, there is NO problem in using 
  SelectedValue(BarIndex()) and LastValue(BarIndex())
  It is not necessary to spend even 2 minutes on this. Just read what I 
  wrote carefully.
   
  Did you read my NEXT reply ?
  <A 
  href="">http://finance.groups.yahoo.com/group/amibroker/message/67538
   
  Actual array item 
  corresponding to bar index <FONT 
  face=Arial size=2>can be found this way:
   
  bi = BarIndex();
  item = SelectedValue( bi ) - bi[ 0 ];  // 
  this line is the key
  Title = NumToStr(MyCustomArray[ item 
  ] ,1.2);
   
   
  Also if you do not want to adjust ANYTHING, you 
  can just add at the top
  SetBarsRequired( 1000000, 1000000 );
   
  which effectively turns off quickafl for this 
  SINGLE particular formula (not globally).
   
  I don't know what is so hard to 
  understand:
  if you want to turn off QuickAFL just add 
  SetBarsRequired( 1000000, 1000000 ); at the top
  and you are fine, without need to touch 
  preferences.
   
  If don't understand send me your code and I will 
  show you how to adjust it in 30 seconds or less.
  Best regards,Tomasz

    <FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff 
    size=2>Thank you Tomasz, a good explanation... however, my question wasn't 
    answered. In an attempt to get my code working with QuickAFL-On I spend 
    several hours trimming several hundred complex (for me) lines of code 
    in such a way that the error msg kept occurring, i.e. try to pinpoint 
    the error causing statements. I narrowed it down to the use of 
    <FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff 
    size=2><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff 
    size=2>SelectedValue(Barindex()) and LastValue(Barindex()). In code 
    using QuickAFL ON and use SetBarsRequired() these statements 
    generate an error message. Does this mean we cannot use these 
    statements in QuickAFL?

      Herman,
       
      Short story:
      Your code does NOT really need index 
      addressing, setbarsrequired, barindex at all.
      Somehow you managed to 
      complicate thing when it is very, very simple and can be coded 
      in 2 lines:
      MyCustomArray = 
      EMA(C,3); Title = "NumberFromMyCustomIndicator 
      ="+NumToStr(MyCustomArray ,1.2);
      <FONT face=Arial

      You see: Bar index represents ENTIRE data set 
      you have.
      Array may be actually smaller than your 
      entire data set (if visible area for indicator is small) and
      may have LESS elements than entire data set 
      you have.
      Array in indicator builder when QuickAFL is 
      on may include only visible part (plus some extra bars).
       
      Now selected bar is shown with red color. As 
      you can see although it has a bar index of 8,
      the actual array element has the number of 
      4.
       
      That's why you can not use barindex to 
      address your arrays directly.
       
      Instead use SelectedValue directly on array, 
      by simply typing:
       
      MyCustomArray = 
      EMA(C,3); NumberFromMyCustomIndicator = SelectedValue( 
      MyCustomArray );
       
      It is way simpler than your code 
      and works always and you do not need to bother about quickafl and 
      setbarsrequired at all.
       
      In fact NumToStr already performs "selected 
      value" so you code can be simplified to 2 lines:
      
       
      MyCustomArray = 
      EMA(C,3); Title = "NumberFromMyCustomIndicator 
      ="+NumToStr(MyCustomArray ,1.2);
      <FONT face=Arial 
      size=2> 
      It performs as you wanted it to perfom and 
      takes 2 lines instead of 5.
      It is all actually simpler than you think.
