You should not be getting errors by just including a condition within
a condition
If you have an error with the actual conditions, and not your example
then you could have an error in the conditions
Another thing is you are looking at the wrong bar. eg backtest with 1
bar delay on trade entry. The backtest shows the date of entry, not
date of signal. Just an example.
You need to explore for each condition values to check each part of the system.
eg
filter=buy;
addcolumn(c,"close",1.3);
addcolumn(ma(c,3),"MAclose",1.3);
addcolumn(cond1,"cond1",1);
addcolumn(c>5,"c>5",1);
addcolumn(cond2,"cond2",1);
addcolumn(V,"volume",1);
addcolumn(cond3,"cond3",1);
