Oh, I think you mean that you want the exploration to find the indicator 
from the chart?
Why don't you just run your chart code in the Explorer? All you would need 
to do is add 2 lines,

1. Filter = ...
2. AddColumn...

If you also defined buy/sell/short/cover, you could run it in the backtester 
also.

Hope I am understanding what you mean...

Steve
