Thank you Steve, you are absolutely correct. This was causing problems on my
expanded daily average. On the code below, the different closes were
calculating different averages, not sure why - since it is operating in
inDailytime frame, there should only be a daily close. Perhaps the initialized
value overides TimeFrameSet.
SetFormulaName("Daily Expanded MA");
//Daily moving average plotted on shorter duration charts
TimeFrameSet( inDaily);
P = ParamField("Price field",-1);
Periods = Param("Periods", 15, 2, 300, 1, 10);
DailyMa = MA(P,Periods);
TimeFrameRestore();
eDailyMA = TimeFrameExpand( DailyMA, inDaily); // expand for display
Plot( eDailyMA, "Daily Average", ParamColor( "Color", colorCycle ),
ParamStyle("Style") );

I believe that TJ initializes his ParamField variable to -1, which is the first
plot on the chart, and that name is added at the bottom of the param list. Try
editing the default name of the original price plot to "TEST" to see what I
mean.

Verified - Works on my machine as described.

Can someone please verify if this is just happening to me? Just drop the
Amibroker simple MA from the charts onto a price chart and see if there are two
Close in the price field parameter drop down box. If this is normal, why are
there two close fields to choose from?

Subject: [amibroker] Question re price field parameter
I have found that if I drop a moving average into a price chart, I am getting
two "Close" in the price field parameter. Can anyone confirm they are seeing
the same and if so explain why there are 2 "Close" price fields?
This does not cause a problem until I start using formulas that use
setTimeFrame.
