Here is a simple code used on your simple moving average function:
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
float x1;
float testsum;
if (sc.Index == 0) {testsum = 0;}
If (sc.Index >0)
{
x1=sc.BaseDataIn[SC_LAST][sc.Index];
testsum += x1;
SCString Buffer;
Buffer.Format("Test by %d -%f - %f",sc.Index,x1,testssum);
sc.AddMessageToLog(Buffer, 1);
}
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++it's

The above doesn't update testsum at all despite being in loop!!

A similar loop works fine in visual c++.

What am I doing wrong..?

We do not see any for loop and because most likely you are using Automatic Looping, none of those locally defined variables are persistent.

You need to use persistent variables:
sc.GetPersistentInt()
