I know you can't get bogged down in complex trading systems,so
maybe just ask around if anyone has seen this behavior, and suggest tests or direction to debug.

I though it might be an INFINTE/Indeterminate Value. It is not.
It's strange.
I'll need more incremental tests' results (added small terms) to advise.
Perhaps a circular reference, such as K3 referring to NOT L3 true, and vise versa.

When I just added:
L3=0
caused K to shut down SC.

I did a few tests, little at a time, only a couple of small terms cause it.

One other term,
FD3>FD4, in a middle area, did.

The problem seems NOT to do with characters limit (though these are big 2200 ch. forumlas).
- - - more info- providing formula:

I'd prefer not to make public my entire BUY Signals, even if dependent on many studies, etc..
(I could send privately most of it & provide detail of other column reference that did it.

Adding L3=0 anywhere in the top 2 lines, it quits. I'll try it elsewhere.
My settings are for intrabar signals in short time frame, so I often have negating exits concurrently or just prior. (I do not yet lock state-- had trouble doing that).
Here are the beginning few lines.

=AND(K4=0,(P3-P6)<320,OR(GI3>(GK3+.8), GO3>(GO4+.2),GK3>GO3),
GC3>-520,NOT(AND(GK3>(GK4- .4),GK3> -6,GE3<(GC3+11),GE3<160,GC3<160,(OR(P3<230,AND(P3>229,P3>P4,V3>190))),(E3-
E20)<3.5,(E3-E12)<2 )),
... etc.

I'm thinking circular dependencies.
I've run prior and after compares to make sure those are the only terms changed
(using WORD Review>> Compare.

I keep audit steps in NOTEPAD of each rev., & have frequent full Backups.
This is not a "finger bounce" error.

I'll work on this off and on for the next day to see if any new clues show up, before you spend time on it.
