The only caveat to keep in mind is that pushpop works best for
real-time trading applications. It isn't reliable for backtesting.
The reason is because TradeStation updates all charts simultaneously
in real time, so values pushed into the global space will correspond
to the current bar.
I have found that this is not the case when backtesting -- charts
are not updated simultaneously, one is calculated before the next is
drawn. If you're trying to pass data between charts, you will end
up with unpredictable values during your backtest.
