Thanks Bill, but according to the manual this is allowed:
MIN
- minimum value of two numbers / arrays
SYNTAX min( ARRAY1, ARRAY2 )
RETURNS ARRAY
FUNCTION Returns the smallest of the two parameters.
EXAMPLE The formula "min( CLOSE, 10 )" returns the closing price or
10, whichever is less
You are mixing up numbers and arrays (see Users Guide). Check the syntax for
the functions used. Min() requires two arrays and not two numbers - maxbar and
selectedvalue(barindex()) are numbers.
