Re: [amibroker] Exploration AFL is causing AB to throw and exception

AddColumn must NOT be put inside conditional statement.
So remove this:
if( Filter != 0 )

(AB automatically handles filtering so it is compeltely NOT necessary)

Simply: when everything fails READ THE MANUAL

Subject: [amibroker] Exploration AFL is causing AB to throw and exception

> 5) Click on Explore.
