Re: [amibroker] Correlation

I believe the answer is yes and yes.  Ref() is generating an array of C that are 5 days back from every C.  Correlation(..., ..., 5) calculates the correlation between C and Ref() over a 5 day period and returns an array of these values.  To keep things straight you have to keep in mind what arrays are and the meaning and calculation of correlation values (r).
