I've found it useful when an Input() function has two handle values (entry
delay and exit delay for example), and the values have to be split out
before they can be used. Having subjected the Input() value to Int() and/or
Frac() the seperated delay period values can no longer be used as the
"periods" constant unless wrapped in LastValue() first.
Why would I bother you ask? Because only 6 inputs are permitted per
indicator by MS and sometimes I cheat and put in more. See representative
code below.
Cp:=Input("Capital, Entry / Exit Delays $ ## ",0,100033,5011);
Nd:=LastValue(Int(0.1+Frac(Cp/100)*10));
Xd:=LastValue(Cp-Int(Cp/10)*10);
Cp:=Int(Cp/100)*100;
Nd and Xd have now been reconstituted as constants - without LastValue() I
would be forced to use seperate Input() functions.

I've never seen this in my manuals. Can you tell me where where to look. I
have 7.0 EOD manual but the layout should be very similar to whatever
version you have.

In the example you give from the manual it sure looks that way to me.

If only better tools would make me a better trader :)
