Hi Tan Ming
 
 
I suspect you might be using "minimum records" for your explorations. Functions like Highest(),  BarsSince(), and ValueWhen() don't force an exploration to use at least a certain number of bars, so you have to specify the number of bars to be scanned. Functions using a "Periods" parameter force the Explorer to us at least that many bars so that the function returns a valid result. Set the number of bars to 100 or 200 and see how that works.
 

Kind regards

Subject: [EquisMetaStock Group] 1 Day Percentage Change

Hi Roy,

Previously I input the formula, after enquiring with u,
Highest(BarsSince((100*(H-L)/L)>5)) to find maximum number of bars a stock
spend in trading when its 1 day percentage dip below 5%.

The formula works great in indicator but when used in explorer, it seems
mixed up with other result.

The top is the indicator using Highest(BarsSince((100*(H-L)/L)>5)). The
middle is merely 100*(H-L)/L with 5% line. The indicator tops at 46bars
meaning this stock’s 1 day percentage change dips below 5% for 46 days.

Everything was correct. However the funny thing in the explorer, using
Highest(BarsSince((100*(H-L)/L)>5)), same as the formula of indicator,
return 2 bars instead of 46bars which is not correct. Am I missing
something? I tried inverse the > sign but the result remains.
