I am stuck on a problem with my filter, maybe someone can help?
The basic filter below demonstrates the issue.
It counts the number of times MA(5) crosses a horizontal line on the chart.
If I use a constant literal value to define the line it works correctly.
However I want to define the line as a variable related to the close and when I do this the count is incorrect.
It's driving me mad!

Good Count:

Fetcher[
apply to symlist(KO,MCD,BKC)
set{ct,close 1 day ago}
set{myline,58.5}
/*set{myline,ct - 1}*/
set{mycrossVar,count(MA(5) crossed above myline,100)}
add column mycrossVar
and draw MA(5)
and draw price line at myline
]



Bad Count:


Fetcher[
apply to symlist(KO,MCD,BKC)
set{ct,close 1 day ago}
/*set{myline,58.5}*/
set{myline,ct - 1}
set{mycrossVar,count(MA(5) crossed above myline,100)}
add column mycrossVar
and draw MA(5)
and draw price line at myline
]

The bottom line should be read "and draw myline on plot close"

Fetcher[
apply to symlist(KO,MCD,BKC)
set{ct,close 1 day ago}
/*set{myline,58.5}*/
set{myline,ct - 1}
set{mycrossVar,count(MA(5) crossed above myline,100)}
add column mycrossVar
and draw MA(5)
and draw myline on plot close
