However, I've encounterted this in Metastock's Bollinger expert: ref(c>bbandtop(),-1). Can anyone explain in English terms what it means? I'm guessing it checks if c>bbandtop in the previous period, but I'm not sure. Thanks!

Both "C" and "BBBandTop()" are enclosed by Ref(,-1) so both expressions relate to the previous bar. Roy MetaStock Tips & Tools
