Yes, BarIndex is actually reseved word (function) that should not be used
as a variable. Replace it with something else (mybarindex for example)
and assign a NUMBER.
The main problem is that you are describing one tiny detail without describing FINAL GOAL
you are interested in. People sometimes push wrong method to begin with.
So please describe final goal what your indicator should calculate
and then we will better help. And send your query to support at amibroker dot com.
