Re: [amibroker] BarsSince Puzzle

Hi - Assuming you are running the exploration on the last bar, you have 
defined the Filter to report only those tickers with a Buy or Sell on that 
bar, and so the bars since these trades will always be zero. Try setting 
Filter = 1 to see results for all tickers.
