Can anyone figure out what I have wrong here? Kinda puzzled... Maybe Summation is not the same as SUM?

 
Code
	sc.SimpleMovAvg(sc.Close,stdDevMa,6);
	
	stdDevInit[sc.Index] = pow(sc.Close[sc.Index] - stdDevMa[sc.Index], 2);
	sc.Summation(stdDevInit, stdDevSum, 6);
	
	float stdDev = sqrt(stdDevSum[sc.Index] / 6);

Oh wait, SC has a standard deviation function built in, never mind... Here is the simple way in case anyone needs to know.

 
Code
	sc.SimpleMovAvg(sc.Close,stdDevMa,6);
	sc.StdDeviation(sc.Close, stdDevInit, 6);
	
	float stdDev = stdDevInit[sc.Index];
