Hi,
I have run your exploration and it seems to work (using EoD data from
Yahoo).
Do you have an example of a stock (and date) when it didn't?
I note that you want to retain the LastValue function, are you aware
that this plots as a straight line so if you overlay it on a volume
chart to look for historic examples it won't be flagging the breakouts
you seek as it is always using the last loaded value of the indicator,
not the indicator value that would have been calculated for each
historic date.
