 I spent 10 hrs today attempting to develop a momentum filter (I'm learning), only to find that SF is seemingly "creating" a variable I've never defined, and exhibiting some very strange behavior.  In the filter below, If I uncomment /* set{r2,RSquared(close,60)} */ variable R2 appears with values I can't explain -- when I add column /RSquared(close,60)} I get the values I expect, but r2 never appears after assigning RSquared(close,60) to it.  Add column r2 is replaced by R2 with strange values, even when I simply assign r2 to 1 (see my current version below).  What's going on?  Thanks for any help anyone can provide ...
 
 set{shrs,75/ATR(20)}
 set{cost, shrs*close}
 set{slp,60 day slope of the close}
 /* set{r2,RSquared(close,60)} */
 set{r2, 1}
 /* set{R2, 2} */
 set{ranker, slp*RSquared(close,60)}
 set{2bw,2*Bollinger Width(20) two days ago}
 set{bwcnt,count(Bollinger Width(20) > 2bw, 30)}
 set{subtr, ATR(20)/2}
 set{atr_p,close-subtr}
 
 RSquared(close,60) > 0.91
 45 Day slope of the close is above 0
 and RSquared(close,60) is above 0.89
 and 60 day slope of ROC(15) is above 0
 and close has been above EMA(20) for the past 20 days
 and bwcnt < 1
 and close is above 5.00
 and average volume(30) is above 200000
 
 and add column slp
 and add column RSquared(close,60) {rsqr}
 and add column r2
 and add column ranker
 and add column shrs
 and add column cost
 and add column atr_p
 /* and add column Normalized Standard Deviation(35) {sd35} */
 and sort column 6 descending

 Perhaps,
 
 Pivot Points (PP,R1,S1,R2,S2)
 
 R2 is considered a Pivot Point.
