["Jose" <josesilva22@xxxxxxxxx>]

Cum(x<>-101) is an attempt to accumulate valid indicator bars - as 
opposed to N/A bars that may produce division errors.

Cum(x>-1) may not work in some instances because there could be 
negative values lurking in some indicator ("P") bars.
-101 was chosen arbitrarily because it's unlikely to occur in the 
indicator's prior data set.

To avoid confusion and possible problems, a better way to find valid 
bars would be this:
Cum(IsDefined(x))

"pds:=If(pds>Cum(IsDefined(x))-VAvgPds,Cum(IsDefined(x))-VAvgPds,pds);
"
