Hi Jaime,
I'm still not quite sure sure exactly what you are trying to do,
but perhaps what you are looking for is something like this
a:= ...... ; {whatever is the value or function that you are considering}
result:= a + cum(1);
Lots of people will help you once they understand clearly what it is that you are trying to do.
Best regards,
Tony

Jaime,
Ron is correct.
Your formula sets the a variable as 0 every bar.
It is possible to translate other programs such as wealth-lab to
metastock... I have done it. Show us the code and we'll see what we
can do.
