Mike, Thanks for you reply. I check my formula as you said and it reported forward looking possiblilites. My question is does the MacD and Stochastic indicators look into the future? They are the only indicators that I use.
I only have 3 conditions and 2 of them use the MacD and 1 uses the stochastic.
