[EquisMetaStock Group] This variable or expression must contain only constant data

[Stephen Dawson <dawsonsg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Guys,

What I am trying to do is;
1. Get the highest close in the preceding x bars (including the current bar). 
2. Once I have that, I want to get the lowest low value of the preceding y bars before that. 

I have written the following four lines of code which I though would have achieved that (or pretty close to it).

{Get the highest close in most recent x bars}
x:=5; 

{LLV in the preceding x bars}
y:=3;  

index:=BarsSince(C=HHV(C,x))*(-1);
tmpLLV:=LLV(Ref(L,index),y);
tmpLLV


There is probably an error in the last line that I may be a bar or two out. The issue I having is that the Ref(L,index)in the last line. I am ghetting the error "This variable or expression must contain only constant data."

If I place a number where the index variable is the code saves. As it is above though I am getting the constant data error message.

If someone could offer apointer or two on how to get around this I'd appreciate it.

Regards
Steve
