Yes - BUT - when I set n = 5 (say), the exploration gives me values for the short trades, but ALL ZEROS for the buy trades.
Perhaps this thread could have been named AddColumn Puzzle, because according to the help file, AddColumn "Adds a new column to the exploration result list. The column shows array values and has a caption of name." I had therefore assumed that the Exploration should show the value in the Mn array (see my original message). In other words, values should appear in the Exploration for BOTH the Buys and the Shorts. So - my problem is not solved and I am still confused. Anyone?
