Any help for this novice, regarding Ara's code example?
I get the following error and am not yet equipped to determine 
the "why". THX in advance:

 Ln: 11, Col: 25 : Error 9. Array subscript has to be a number

//Barry's example buy/sell conditions
fMA = MA(C, 4);
Buy = fMA > Ref(fMA, -1);
Sell = fMA < Ref(fMA, -1);

//Ara's code example
bi = BarIndex();
ai = bi - bi[0];
intrade = Flip(Buy,Sell); // intrade will become 1 at first signal 
and stay at that value until a Sell Signal arrives
buysignal = ValueWhen(intrade AND Ref(intrade,-1) ==0,ai,1);  // this 
will give you the arrayindex value of the Buy Signal.
BuyHigh = High[buysignal];
