Partial expressions

A partial expression is a part of an MM-Talk formula that is itself already a correct formula. In the Infront Portfolio Manager, you can assign variables to the results of sub-expressions. With the following assignment, for example, the variable "$Close" is assigned the result of the "Close" function:

$Close:=Close

By assigning partial expressions to variables, long formulas become clearer and the evaluation speed increases because the result of the partial expression does not have to be recalculated for each formula evaluation, but can be read from the memory. The use of variables is therefore particularly advantageous where the same value is accessed multiple times (e.g. in time series functions).
