Post From: Spreadsheet formula randomly returns 0 - Why?

Hi guys,

I am wondering why this formula below would randomly return a value of 0? I am using this spreadsheet formula study to have a Volatility based "Daily Max Profit" value set based on the length of a custom-made channel (similar to an ATR channel), I use this study to triggers my "close all" exit alert condition to exit my open trades and stop trading for the day.

=MAX(5,ID59.SG1-ID60.SG1,ID59.SG1[-1]-ID60.SG1[-1])

ID59 and ID60 are both spreadsheet formula which calculate channel High and low respectively

- even if channel calculations returns a zero, the MAX() should always return a value of 5.
- Even if I replace the formula with a constant value of "5", it randomly returns a value of 0

Edit: I should also mention that when I use this formula directly in my buy/sell Exit Alert condition, it works beautifully confirming there is nothing goofy going on with my study collection.
