Re: [EquisMetaStock Group] Using Alert in the Explorer - what am I doing wrong?

Hi Martin

 

 

I suspect that you are using too few bars in the exploration (minimum records perhaps?). Alert() is one of those functions that does not force the Explorer to use to use the required number of periods - 200+X in this case.  Force the Explorer to use more than 200+X bars and I think your problem will go away. If you're using an exponential moving average somewhere in the formula that you're not showing then results from that could also be off unless you're specifying sufficient bars (different problem).

Subject: [EquisMetaStock Group] Using Alert in the Explorer - what am I doing wrong?

Hi,

I have a formula which I am using in the Explorer:

Alert(ROC(CLOSE,X,%)>Y,200)

X and Y are of course real numbers when I use it.  For some reason
some of the stocks which should qualify are not coming up (even though
when I use the same formula as an indicator it does work correctly.

Any ideas what I am doing wrong?

Regards
