Re: NumericRef Function question

["Gene Pope" <gene@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Problem solved...

Thanks to Mark Simms for helping with the mystery... ;~)

Solution was to declare Local Variables on the Indicator side to store only
those values of the NumericRef inputs calculated at the time of the single
Tick function call.

Then I also declared Local Variables on the Function side to stash the
Serial data (now declared Simple on the inputs) on the identical Tick.

Lastly, of course, all local variables have to be reset for each sampling
Interval.

Bottom line, it appears NumericRef inputs will float and attempt to
recalculate on every tick regardless of "if...then" or "where" filter loops.
They must be isolated on both sides.

Now with the help of Robert Linders' PushPop.dll, the real fun begins...
hehe

Best regards,

Gene Pope
