Passing data to the MA function

[ReefBreak]

Hello,

I am trying to use (OHLC)/4 as the data to be averaged. In lines 31-40 I calculate the OHLC average. Then in line 42 I try to pass that average (vAvg) to the MAStudy.

The error message reads that param 3 (vAvg) is invalid. - In Rev B of this indicator I used "close", which works fine.

QUESTION:
How do I pass the vAvg = (OHLC/4) to the MAStudy?

Thank You in Advance,

I think it should work just using var vAvg="OHLC/4";
