Big difference. LastValue is always the most recent piece of data in the database regardless of the bar you think you are on.
ValueWhen is a historical reference to the "Value" of the array "When" the condition was last True. This will never be the current bar. -- Terry -----Original Message----- From: amibroker@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of cdepuy Sent: Friday, June 23, 2006 09:46 To: amibroker@yahoogroups.com Subject: [amibroker] stock price at time of buy signal Can anyone tell me what is the difference between these two?
