Is there anyway do do an "init" in an explorer? 
As an example of what I am trying to accomplish. This is a snipet of 
the code that I have in the explorer:
    The most recent High Beta was writeif(  BarsSince(Fml( "!QUTSH - 
Setup Day - High Beta") ) <  BarsSince(Fml( "!QDTSH - Setup Day - 
High Beta")  )  , "an UPTREND" , "a DOWNTREND")

This produces the following error until I get 1 valid signal:
  (*ERROR*: Function is not defined for the current date)
