[amibroker] Re: Custom Composite Index Problem

Thanks Mike.  I had read that doc.  And I did notice I had to run
"Explore" a couple of times to get things to "converge" properly.

My basic problem is I cannot use yesterdays "Index" times the
"Multiplier" to get todays "Index".  Something like:

Index = Ref(Index,1) * Multiplier

This doesn't work and gives an error.  Something about using an
un-initialized variable.
