Not sure what you are really after.
What you did was create a reference to YESTERDAY's close. It will change
every day as you discovered. If you just want the first close of the
data to remain constant, try this:
InitalSurrogateClose = C[0] + 5;
Gets and stores the very first piece of data into a NUMERIC variable.
This is essentially now a CONSTANT you can use in further calcs.

Subject: [amibroker] Creating a surrogate for price?
Question: How do I reference the first close in a data set, perform a
calculation on it and that becomes the new surrogate close going
forward?
ie. Dow close 5 yrs ago = 9500
surrogate dow close = 9500+5
If I use:
InitalSurrogateClose = ref(c,-1)+ 5 ;
SurrogateClose = InitalSurrogateClose + 5;
it works for the first bar in the data set but then continues to
reference the real close. I need to Isolate this first surrogate close
and I an just not seeing it. Please help if you understand what I'm
after.
Thank you!
