[amibroker] Re: How is a backwards reference handled if there is missing data?

Well, I thought it was perfect.  I tried it and I must be doing 
something wrong.  Here is the indicator code:

Disp = Param("Displacement", -96, -672, 0, 1);
nSamp = Param("Num of Samples", 1, 1, 100, 1);

fData = Close; //initialize the filtered data with the close value
for(i=1; i<nSamp; i++)  //first sample is the current value of Close, 
thus, just need to add nSamp-1 additional samples
{
	fData = fData + Ref(Close, Disp*i);
}

Plot(fData, "Filter - Sum", ParamColor("Color", colorRed), ParamStyle
("Line Style"));

I see no difference in the resultant plot with Pad and Align turned 
on or off. The close data is not padded on the symbol on which I have 
added the indicator.  Maybe we miscommunicated.  I am not running an 
analysis, I am simply adding an indicator to a symbol and I want to 
go backwards and sum the value of that symbol, N number of days at 
each 15 minute interval during the day.

Stumped at the moment...any ideas?
