apply symlist(ADVS)
and draw price line at close

See this example above which draws a horizontal line at the last close value. Is it possible to get this value into a variable so that the count() function can be used with it?
At the moment when I use close in the count() function it uses each days' close rather than the last close value.
There is a function in Metastock called lastvalue() which I think does what I want.

Count() function merely "adds" the number of conditionals that evaluates as either TRUE or FALSE. Hence, it will spit out either 1 or 0 as its value depending on the parameter used for the period. The following example will show either 1 or 0 in the "cl" column.

Fetcher[
apply symlist(ADVS)
set{cl, count(close above open,1)}
and draw price line at cl
add column cl
]



On the other hand, a set() statement can be used to assign a given array to a variable.

Fetcher[
apply symlist(ADVS)
set{cl, close}
and draw price line at cl
]



Hope that helps.
