Hi doji

The Explorer Filter window accepts code just the same as any of the columns as well as being able to make decisions from the results of one or more columns. If you know how to create an indicator then you've pretty much got it covered. AND has a higher precedence than OR, so there are some situations where logical expressions need to be enclosed by brackets, and some where they are not.

ConditionA AND ConditionB OR
ConditionC AND ConditionD OR
ConditionE AND ConditionF;

is the same as...

(ConditionA AND ConditionB) OR
(ConditionC AND ConditionD) OR
(ConditionE AND ConditionF);

but

ConditionA AND (ConditionB OR
ConditionC) AND (ConditionD OR
ConditionE) AND ConditionF;

is totally different.

Two expressions connected by AND must both be TRUE for the combined expression to be TRUE. Practicing the combination of various expressions should teach you the basic rules fairly quickly. If in doubt then grouping with brackets is a pretty safe way to go, assuming you have a basic knowlege of logic.

One point that trips up a number of new Explorer users is that the Filter result is only relevant on the last data bar. The only result that counts is the last bar. If you're having trouble visualising a column or filter result looks like it's a good ide to reconstruct the particular piece of code as an indicator in the Indicator Builder. Dropping the test indicator onto a chart will show what the result looks like on every bar, not just the last bar.
