Otherwise the signal code is identical to my indicator code. The
value of MA on the same bar is now 931.56 - several points different
from the other two results!
Has anyone noticed such dramatic inconsistencies from the same
calculation between indicators and signals? From code that's
essentially identical?

Alex,
The first place I look when such things occur in my work is at the settings
for things such as maxbarsback .... anything that would make the data set
accessed by the indicator differ from that accessed by the signal. This is
particularly true with a function like xaverage for which a value at a particular bar
is dependent on its values for many many many previous bars, extending in
principle all the way back to the first data point in the set.
