No luck. TS doesn't accumulate 'derivative' variables, i.e., variables that
aren't based soley on price (such as another variable) during the MBB
period. This is an ancient problem. I doubt that TS6 solved the problem,
although I haven't tested it. I do not know if arrays also manifest this
problem. You might try that. Or global variables.
