I have several LastValue functions in my formual, but none refer to 
the MacD or Stochastic. The refer to buy, sell, short, and cover plus 
some debug code.

I just use them in my 3 bars a day with out anything fancy.

I didn't think that the close would change once the bar closed and a 
new bar opened. Why would the close change if the bar is closed?

I have about 9 months of data so I would think that would be enough. 

Thanks again,
