The problem is that your user functions are NumericSeries rather than
NumericSimple. This is because you are referencing a previous value in
your function. When you take this out of the code, you then have a
NumericSimple function.
A NumericSeries function is calculated before the NumericSimple
functions. The user cannot control the order of NumericSeries function
execution. NumericSimple functions are executed in the order they are
called, NumericSeries are executed "ahead" of the code.
