I am trying to switch timeframes from a 3 minute to a daily and then back on an 
exploration. I start off with a 3 minute interval. All I want to do with the 
daily interval is get the closing values of the last 5 bars. It acts really 
funny, despite trying different combinations of  TimeFrameSet and 
TimeFrameExpand or Compress.

Shouldn't I just be able to do: (and have C1 thru C5 hold values or CD hold an 
array of daily values)

TimeFrameSet(inDaily);

C1 = ref(C,-1) ; //grab last 5 closing values on daily interval
C2 = ref(C,-2); //this does not work
C3 = ref(C,-3);
C4 = ref(C,-4);
C5 = ref(C,-5); 
//or:
CD = C ; //CD should hold an array of daily values, but it doesn't work eitherÂ…
 
TimeFrameRestore(); //to go back to 3 minute interval

It seems to kinda work if I issue a TimeFrameExpand(C,in1minute), but not 
really. When I run the exploration, the correct values only come up on later in 
the day iterations of the same stock. I want the last 5 values of the daily 
interval regardless of how often the stock comes up on the 3 minute interval. 
Any ideas?

Thanks,

interfool
