DETECTING FLAGS SPREADSHEET

Editor,

I downloaded Ron McAllister’s Excel spreadsheet file on detecting flags from your December 2014 issue and refreshed the data. On the calculation and charts tab, the flag finder columns all have #N/A in them. I tried a number of different symbols but I get the same result. I’m assuming this is not correct. Is there something I need to modify or check?

Thank you for your interest in my Excel spreadsheet from the December 2014 Traders’ Tips column of this magazine; the topic that month was Markos Katsanos’ article in the same issue, “Detecting Flags In Intraday Charts.”
