 Hello, 
  
When everything fails CONSULT THE MANUAL. 
  
It is described exactly in the User's Guide: 
  
Quote: 
"Caveat: expandFirst used on price 
different than open may look into the future. For example if you create weekly 
HIGH series, expanding it to daily interval using expandFirst will enable you to 
know on MONDAY what was the high for entire week."

  system (was Re: Swing Trading - Strategy Performance) 
  
  Just out of curiosity, how safe is it to build a trading system 
  that re-expands the compressed time zone with expandFirst?  I am 
  able to get incredible backtest results from this system.  I just wonder 
  if its too good to be true because it is looking into the future?  How 
  does AB's backtester walk through time?  Does it only calculate a point 
  in time based on the past bars, including when it compresses into another time 
  zone?
  Thanks for any information anyone can share - before I start 
  trading real capitol I want to have a better idea if its going to work for 
  real?
