it shouldn't be reinitializing it. All ELA's I have will leave var's value
at 1 and work exactly as you want it to...

I'm sorry, I think I'm not explaining myself properly and trying everyone's
patience.
Let's say this is my code:
code---------
Vars: var1(0);
if condition then var1=var1+1;
if var1>=2 then begin;
buy, sell, etc;
end;
code---------
Let's say condition was met on the first bar. Now var1 has a value of 1.
Next bar if we meet the condition again, I want Var1 to have a value of 2.
But as the Vars: statement has reinitialized my var1 to 0, the value after
meeting the condition is again 1, not 2, as the previous value of var1 (1)
was reinitialized to (0) .
Am I making sense here at all...?
