Hello, I want to insert a variable into the Ref function, but MetaStock won't let me.
Is there a way around this?
Example:
I want to create an exploration to look for positive divergence between stochastic
and price.
I used the following formula to return the number of bars since the second most recent stochastic trough:
Tb:=TroughBars(2,Stoch(5,3),.1);
Now I want the closing price Tb bars ago, so I can see if it's higher than the current close.
Neg(Tb);
Ref(C,Tb) Returns the error "This variable or expression must contain only constant data".

Use the Forum dll Ref function. This does allow a variable to be used. Go to the Downloads link to find the dll.
