Hi Keith
There is an explanation for the effect you have observed.
The Filter can only be activated on the last bar, and my understanding is that it only considers the results of ColA through ColF on the last bar. The Cross() function requires 2 bars of data to produce a result, and only one bar (the last bar) of column results can be used by the Filter. That's not sufficient for the Cross() function. For the same reason it's not possible to use a column moving average in the Filter.
Complex formulas can certainly be used for the filter, but only the last bar result from columns A -F are available for it to work with. The filter result of a column cross would be N/A, thus no hits. That's the way I see it anyway.
Regards

Subject:[EquisMetaStock Group] Explorer filter question
Folks:
In playing around with the explorer and filter, I find that using a
column (colA) as a term in the filter appears to not be proper,
although no error is given. I used the following in the filter:
cross(cola,colb) or cross (colb, cola);
The explorer took the argument but returned no hits. Replacing the
value in the filter for cola, colb with the formulas in cola, colb
worked as expected. I didn't see in the book that I could not do this
and I would have expected an error if the syntax were incorrect.
Anyone want to comment on this? Thanks in advance.
