Thanks for all the replies.

The print() statement seems to be the problem. The code works fine without it. The code works fine the FIRST time it's run with the print() statement. After that, re-verifying will produce the floating point error.

Bob: I don't know why "if CurrentBar <= 1" would behave any different than "if CurrentBar = 1". I have always used the <= convention because I can never remember if the first bar starts at 1 or 0.

Jimmy: What does MultiCharts use the variable 'i' for? Open Interest?
In any case you don't see 'i' in my code because I didn't include the parts I commented out. I can change it to 'ii' I guess. I recall doing that in the past, maybe because of the conflict with 'interest'?

Gene: I did actually start clipping out all the remarked code and posted what was left. After I posted it, I clipped further and found out the print() statement was generating the error. I still have no idea why.

Sometimes even "remarked out" code will generate errors as if it was still
active, same deal with if...then loops even when if = false. Sam's advice to
clip out the bare bones code (and then add other code slowly until error
occurs) is a good starting point.
