This is probably not a bug. If you use print statements in your code you
will find the cause. For instance, variables do not store any values prior
to the maxbarsback. If you say value1 = highest(H,100), then on barnumber
1 the first bar will indeed be the highest bar in the last 100 bars since
all the other bars will prior to this will have zero values for value1.
