Bro, AFL you are asking is very simple to make it in amibroker itself.
I could have posted the afl here, but want you to llearn how these Simple AFL can be made from amibroker AFL code wizard.

Go to Analysis--AFL Code wizard
AFL code wizard window will open up and you can see the 4 criteria lined up der i.e Enter Long, Exit Long, Enter Short, Exit short"

Click on enter Long---Add item (Left side bar)
You will get Close>10 (its a default)
Click on close---down windlow, scroll down you will see the SAR---click on it

Now you will see SAR(0.02,0.2)>10

Click on number 10, then down window click on "Value of"

Now u can see SAR(0.02,0.2)>Close

Click on Greater than sign ">"

You will get 3 option,
Click on Less than

So the final Buy condition would be
SAR( 0.02, 0.2 ) < Close

Others u need to complete. (your homework)

Thank you MCXinvest.
