MC 7.4 Global Variables

Hello, I've got a simple question in regards to using global variables in MultiCharts 7.4. Despite,
being fairly new I usually end up fixing it trough trial and error, but now I'm stuck, and I haven't
found a solution.

I've got an index in which I've plotted moving averages. I wanted to transfer the value
of the division to a second chart. It was sucessful, however I only receive the
value calculated from the latest bar, giving me a flat line.

Is it possible to transfer the value from the previous bars aswell?

This is my code.

Sending chart

var0 = XAverage(Close, EMA1)/XAverage(Close, EMA2);

If Bartype = 3 then
Begin
GVSetNamedDouble("Study 1",var0);
End;

Receiving chart

var0 = GVGetNamedDouble("Study 1",0);

If BarType = 3 then
Begin
Plot1(var0,"EMAs",red);
RecalcLastBarAfter(1);
End;

Thanks in advance.

Edit: I'm using EOD data.

No.
Put both of them onto the same chart screen and hide one.
This is how i display a ma from a 5min chart on my tick chart.
