RE: [amibroker] Question re Foreign Function

["Terry" <MagicTH@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Did you try this since you already stored the value of the entire array?
Actually, yours probably works, you just forgot Ref(
But I like to use the stored data instead of recalculating.

comp  = Foreign("$COMPQ", "C"); 
compd = TimeFrameGetPrice(comp, inDaily);
compp = Ref(compd,-1);

Subject: [amibroker] Question re Foreign Function

I'm using the following code to fetch the current Nasdaq value
and I display the results in the title of an A/D graph I work 
with. Works fine with intraday data and displays current value
correctly.
 
comp = Foreign("$COMPQ", "C"); 

I wanted to also show change from previous day's Index close
which means I need to fetch the previous day's Index close on 
Daily basis and to do that I've tried following line and various
permutations with no success.

compp = TimeFrameGetPrice( Foreign("$COMPQ", "C"), inDaily, -1 ); 

Any suggestions as to how I can retrieve the previous day's Index 
close on Daily basis would be much appreciated. Somehow I need to 
combine the Foreign and TimeFrameGetPrice functions if that can be
done

Thanks & Regards,    ( And best wishes to all over the Holiday Period)
