RE: a new problem with Ref()

["Guy Tann" <grt@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Ton,

I have every one of these coded as an independent indicator so there is only
one variable in each custom indicator.

I will run a test using the Close to see how that works, but this being one
of MS' standard data arrays might not work the same way as referencing one
of my own indicators.  I have approximately 200 days in my test data set.

Could you send me the limits in terms of total number of indicators, etc.
again, as I managed to lose it.

Thanks,

Guy

It is not due to the Ref() function.
To Test, create an indicator that references a Securities 100+ days
of Closes in the past.

More likely you are overceeding the maximum 20 Variables limit for
a single custom indicator.
