[amibroker] Re: Ref Function

Think logically about what the expression is saying. Ref(TimeNum() ==
73000, -1) is saying when the previous bar was 7:30:00, so the whole
expression is saying give me the value of TimeNum() when the previous
bar was 7:30:00. With 5 minute data that will be 7:35:00 (because then
the bar before that would have been 7:30:00).

Similarly for the other two expressions.
