Why Does it work in expert but not explorer...need help

[Metastockuser]

Can anyone tell me why this formula will work in my expert system but not work in my exploration?

When I apply this to my expert system against WM I get hits, it works.

But when I apply the formula to an exploration against WM no hits.

Cross(DPO(35),Mov(DPO(35),5,S)) AND DPO(5)<0

This has me stumped. I need it to work in the explorer so that I can create and export a data trade data base for tradesim. Is there a problem with metastock 8.01? Do I have to do something diffent here for the exploration side to make this work in the explorer?

I've got it entered into col a exactly as is and get nothing.

This one is weird.

First thing to do is to check your Exploration options and check that you are not using the minimum number of records for each security. The number of records used should reflect the date range of interest in your case the number of bars of data on your chart.

Metastockuser, the Detrended Price Oscillator DPO() used in your formula looks into the future.

It is not possible to obtain any DPO values for today, thus your explorations will always return null values (N/A).

Forget the DPO - you can't trade with it retrospectively.

Yup, it's the nature of that formula, it wont work in the exploration for me.

This one won't work in the exploration for anyone.
