"No valid trading records in database" error

[raindog]

Hello,

Hoping someone can point out the error in the following piece of code, which when I include it and reference it in my entry trigger in MS, results in the Tradesim error “No valid trading records in database”.

VolumeCount :=
V>Mov(V,30,S) +
Ref(V,-1)>Mov(V,30,S) +
Ref(V,-2)>Mov(V,30,S) +
Ref(V,-3)>Mov(V,30,S) +
Ref(V,-4)>Mov(V,30,S) +
Ref(V,-5)>Mov(V,30,S) +
Ref(V,-6)>Mov(V,30,S) +
Ref(V,-7)>Mov(V,30,S) +
Ref(V,-8 )>Mov(V,30,S) +
Ref(V,-9)>Mov(V,30,S);

(Please note I had to add a space after the '-8' to avoid php including a smilie there.)

Will this not assign a numeric value to VolumeCount, based on evaluation of the boolean statements?

Thanks,

Erron

Make sure you allow for enough records in the trade database exploration. This maybe set to the minimum.

No, it wasn't that. I needed to parenthesize all the arguments, was all.

BTW David, I had "Notify me when a reply is posted" ticked and wasn't notified?
