That code plots the value = 10 on all bars.
Variables are local to the total function/indicator/strategy module, not just inside the begin/end loop.
Variables can also be passed by reference as an input to a function.
There are global variable packages that allow variables to be global throughout the charting module.
The Var statement must appear before the variable is used and can be inside a conditional but it is processed as though it was not inside the conditional statement.
Variables are initialized at CurrentBar = 1 but some are initialized before CurrentBar = 1. As I recall:
Var: Price(Close);
initializes "Price" back in time to the first bar of data, including the MaxBarsBack interval.
Most of the code I see has initialization problems, indicating that most people do not understand this. For example:
Var: Avg(0);
Avg = XAverage(Close, 200);
Avg starts at zero and takes hundreds of bars to reach near the correct value.
