Conrad,
To give you another tip :
The advice that changed my AFL understanding and my poor programmer's
life comes from Steve Dugas. I am not a programmer :(
As I can't retrieve the Yahoo's topic ( the server is always busy), I
give you a copy.
To put in good place into your AFL bible...
You will see perfectly what your logic does.
This may help you.
Best regards

Title : Plotting to see what the array looks like.
Why not plot it to see what the array looks like?
I always found that plotting the whole arrays, starting
with the first arrays in the code and then continuing with the later
arrrays until I located the problem, helped me to see what was happening
better than using DebugView or Trace. It is a pretty simple technique
but very effective, maybe it would make a good little "Debugging Your
Code" lesson in the Users Guide. 8 - )

//test newday
NewDay1 = Day() != Ref(Day(), 1);
NewDay2 = DateNum() != Ref(DateNum(),-1);
_TRACE("NewDay = "+NewDay1 );
_TRACE("Day1 = "+Day() );
_TRACE("RefDay1 = "+Ref(Day(), -1) );
_TRACE("NewDay2 = "+NewDay2 );
_TRACE("Day2 = "+Day() );
_TRACE("RefDay2 = "+Ref(Day(), -1) );
Plot( Day(), "Day1", colorRed, styleDashed|styleThick);
Plot( Ref( Day(), -1 ), "RefDay1", colorYellow, styleDashed|styleThick);
Plot( Day(), "Day2", colorBlue, styleLine );
Plot( Ref( Day(), -1 ), "RefDay2", colorWhite, styleLine );
