The Input() Function(MSK-man. p.271-273) cannot be used directly in
the Explorer (MSK-man. p.351).
It is reserved to be used in a custom indicator.
However, the custom indicator's default value can be used in an exploration.
Since you have created a {faulty} custom indicator, than just re-code it.
By referencing the Input() Function using the fml() CALL Function
(MSK-man.p.226-227 and 208-209 and 212), you can still use its {by you
at design time} assigned Default value.
Custom Indicator :
Name: MACDcustom
Formula:
MAprd:=Input( "Periods", 5 {Minimum}, 30 {Maximum}, 14 {Default} );
YourTrig:=Mov( MACD(), MAprd, E );
MACD();
YourTrig
When creating the Exploration just click the Function-button and look under
the Custom Indicators heading for both of the above custom indicator Functions,
and "Open" each of them one by one, to Paste them into your column TABs
(MSK-man. p.347-348) .
Exploration:
Name: MACD crosses my Trigger
Columns:
Cola:
Name: Close
Formula:
C
Colb:
Name: MACD
Formula:
FML( "MACDcustom , MACD" )
Colc:
Name: MACDTrigger
Formula:
FML( "MACDcustom , YourTrig" )
Filter:
Formula:
Colb > Colc
{or
FML( "MACDcustom , MACD" ) > FML( "MACDcustom , YourTrig" )
}
