You may want to consider adding a 200 day moving average in invisible style
to force explorer to use enough time or you could add a function like
ref(c,200) and then add an if wrapper to effectively no-op the ref
function such as: your statement + if(ref(c,200)>0,0,0). The basic
rule for exponential averages is 4 times the lookback period length for
convergence
of functional values.

Can't you special-case the indicators that use EMAs?
Slapping the Explorer on da side a its head might help.
<< the Explorer will not load 100 time periods as it doesn't need 100 time
periods to calculate a 14 time period indicator>>
