How Long Sum1 Feed Us? Cant V learn to cook Ourselves?

When I joined this forum, I had ZERO knowlede of AFL's
Even Ami was new to me.

But over aperiod of time, due to motivation of KAKA ji and asnavale ji, I started reading , editing existing AFL and still do lot f experimentation with AFLs.

I read some1 on this forum requesting for some guidance on AFL writing on Paid basis..!

xxxxxxxxxxx

Join above forum, in no time U will see the diff in u. AFL's in adundance not just to download, V can learn from it.

bye

I agree with you pkg. I too started like you, without understanding what AFL is. Learnt by reading the AmiBroker User's Guide and analysing some of the Freely available AFLs. Still learning.

In my opinion, this approach of self study will take a longer time although the knowledge gained will be perfect. A little help for newbies in how to write AFLs would be of great help. Instead of supplying them with ready made AFLs as per their criteria, it is better to educate them in writing AFLs. Of course, we can help them out when they start writing their own AFLs and face problems.

It would be better to start a thread something like "How To Write AmiBroker AFLs" and start from the basics so that new comers to AmiBroker and AFL world will be benefited and in the course of time will be able to do programming on their own. They may even come up with new useful strategies and share here.

So, how do you like the idea of starting a new thread ? I have been thinking of this for some time but nothing concrete has come up. I would appreciate some inputs from you and other members, newbies as well as experienced ones.

Anant, that is really a good idea.. I will support it always. But with the rider

1) It might take lot of time from the thread owner / main contributors.
2) How is it going to be different from Amibroker manual or "Getting started with AFL" ?

Maybe, making it /turning the thread later into and FAQ thread will be more useful.
(atleast that is the approach I adopted for my options thread where instead of copy pasting the content from other sources, I point people to those resource. If they are serious they come back with more questions.. otherwise, they dropoff and I save my time).

I think, you/pkgmtnl should point to right resources on net, manual for others to do the ground work. Atleast that will optimise your time utilisation and u many not be reinventing the wheel.

If you start this, then I will have to become Ami user too.

All the best. Looking forward to see how it develops.
Happy Trading

Hi friends, can U please let me know if I need to learn any programming language like C, C++ to go ahead to learn afl writing???
thanx
regards

Dear Friends,

Can anybody guide me about the instertion of some syntax which I intend to insert in the Exploration, that

When I run Exploration on TimeFrame 5min, I want that Cover/ Short signal to come on 3min TimeFrame reversal;

Cover = Buy = ExRem(Buy, Sell);
Short = Sell = ExRem(Sell, Buy);

Filter = Buy or Sell;

The using Above systax gives exit on the same time Frame; But I want exit synatx on lower timeframe i.e. 3min;

Can any senior guide me write that syntax?

Since none answered, so im writing this afl though im not sure if it will work or not. Sory if it doesnt work

TimeFrameSet( 3*in1Minute );
Cover = Buy = ExRem(Buy, Sell);
Short = Sell = ExRem(Sell, Buy);

Filter = Buy OR Sell;
TimeFrameRestore();

singhboy thnx, can u please guide how to write the Buy /Sell and their corresponding rates along with the EXIT rate (on 3min TimeFrame) on the chart.
plot text like Buy at "RATE", and EXIT at " ".

Hi Santosh,

You need not know any programming language to write AFL.

But knowledge of a programming language helps in understanding finer details of syntax etc.

The AmiBroker Formula Language (AFL) is similar to C. Therefore, knowledge of C will make you learn faster.

Sory dear, I neva tried to learn chart plotting afls, bcz i use amibroker purely for exploration. So I m always interested to learn exploration afls only. Neirher is use any special plotted chart, I use amibroker default afl chart with my own parameters.
