I have several formulas for candlestick formations, and I made an exploration for several of them. 1 of them is throwing the error in the title everytime I run the exploration.
If(
Ref(C,-2)>Ref(O,-2) AND
Ref(C,-1)>Ref(O,-1) AND
C>O AND
O>Ref(C,-2) AND
Ref(O,1)>Ref(C,-2) AND
(H-L)<1.02*(Ref(H,-1)-Ref(L,-1)) AND
(H-L)>0.98*(Ref(H,-1)-Ref(L,-1)) AND
O<1.005*Ref(O,-1) AND
O>0.995*Ref(O,-1)
,1,0)
The part that confuses me is that the expert advisor that I put this formula into hits properly, but the exploration can't even give me a 0 for when it doesn't hit.
I am loading 2000 records instead of minimum in the exploration.
My exploration is as follows:
column A: C
column B: Fml( "Side-by-side white lines")
filter: colB = 1
Thanks for any help.

,1,0)
you are either missing an operand or the bold entries don't belong in the exploration
also the if function is redundant in the exploration, if all of the conditions are met then the column will show a 1 else 0

put this in colB Code:Ref(C,-2)>Ref(O,-2) AND
Ref(C,-1)>Ref(O,-1) AND
C>O AND
O>Ref(C,-2) AND
Ref(O,1)>Ref(C,-2) AND
(H-L)>0.98*(Ref(H,-1)-Ref(L,-1)) AND
O>0.995*Ref(O,-1)
put this in ColC Code:If(Ref(C,-2)>Ref(O,-2) AND
Ref(C,-1)>Ref(O,-1) AND
C>O AND
O>Ref(C,-2) AND
Ref(O,1)>Ref(C,-2) AND
(H-L)>0.98*(Ref(H,-1)-Ref(L,-1)) AND
O>0.995*Ref(O,-1),1,0)

I went line by line, running the search with each line by itself, and the one that is
Ref(o,-1)> Ref(C,-2)
is the line that is triggering the error. Kind of special, but I'm trying work arounds to figure out what is wrong. Removing this line makes it run smoothly

Figured it out. I missed the negative in the first part of that line. My previous post was not a copy and paste, which is why it says Ref(o,-1) instead of the ref(o,1) from my earlier posts.
Does this mean explorations cannot look into the future? ;)

Hi Finkel
That's exactly what it means. The effect is the same as you would see on a chart if you applied a forward reference to a moving average or any other function. To get away with a forward reference without creating an N/A on the last data bar (the bar that the Explorer reports its results from) you would need to enclose the forward reference in an equal or greater backward reference.
