Hi Scott

Was my suggestion using ValueWhen() of any use?

I think you'll find that if you have more data than you load for the chart then your bar one
reference is also dynamic. Each time you add a new bar at the right you drop one off at the left.
This is a good reason for sticking with natural divisions in the data such as weeks or months. Other
divisions such as 30 days are arbitrary and in the situation I've mentioned then whatever end you
use as a reference the result is still "dynamic". I know there are those that want to use this type
of indicator, but it's impossible to backtest. Even when there are less bars in the chart than able
to be loaded the starting bar is going to be arbitrary in nature, the day of the inititial float for
example.

PS: It's good to see you contributing with your knowledge and skill. Keep up the good wook.
