One problem you might be having...
All of this "function" capability is only available in recent betas and
recent betas are only available to paid subscribers.
I don't know why you are using java script for your function.
Try putting this into a file caled myFunction.afl:
function myFunction(x1,x2,x3,x4)
{
return (x1 + x2 + x3 + x4) / 4;
}
Then, in your "main" AFL, say:
x = myFunction(Open, High, Low, Close);
It will work just about every time...
