Error in formula

I am getting an error in a formula when using extern symbols as inputs to a neural network. The error is:
Syntax error on "^", state 403, expecting: PLUS MINUS NEG .... Error while compiling formula

An example of some of the external symbols I am trying to use as inputs are:
Extern Symbol Symbol: ^DJT - Field: close
Extern Symbol Symbol: ^DJI - Field: volume

Also, is there a way to define an input to the neural network as the 30 day moving average of the volume from an external symbol (e.g. MvAvg(30, DowIndustrial, Volume)?

Thanks

Best Answer

This problem was fixed few days ago. The fix will be available in the next release.

- Instead of using "External Symbol" type, select "Formula" then type: GetSeries("^DJT", close) or GetSeries("^DJI", volume)

- To add this SMA input, select "Formula" then type:
sma(GetSeries("^DJI", volume), 30)
