Hi racfdba


The reason the exploration results are wrong is because you are not loading sufficient data. ADX(14) needs at least 70 bars to deliver an accurate result. Don't use the Explorer "Load Minimum Records" option for any function that uses an exponential moving average internally. ADX() uses Wilders() which is a form of EMA. In all there are more than 20 MetaStock functions that are subject to this kind of inaccuracy.

  Hi: Can anyone explain why I get different results, using the same 
  parameters, in an indicator and the Explorer? I'm using ADX(14)for 
  both but the returns are not the same. Differences are not great, 
  about 5 points, when ADX(14) is around 30 or 35.
  thanks,

  racfdba
