[amibroker] Re: SetForeign and StaticVarSet question

["el_pato_ut" <trader.geto@xxxxxxxxx>]

Yes! Thank you very much for your reply! I understand what is going on now, and I WAS overlooking something simple :-). When I used the "SetForeign", it also changed the value of "Name()"!! In order to do what I want it to do, I need to assign the value of "Name()" to a variable before I perform the SetForeign. In other words, I want it to look like this:

> CurrentSymbol = Name();
> SetForeign("$SPX);
> //Get RSI value for the S&P500
> RSISPX = LastValue(Ref(RSI(14),-1));
> StaticVarSet("RSI-SPX-"+CurrentSymbol,RSISPX);

Again, many thanks for your quick reply and assistance!
