Have you seen this ...<http://www.amibroker.com/library/detail.php?id=724> .. its not a system...but its funny...can possibly be junk...:D ... its somewhat similar to what you are saying ....
Dhakkan (well you look very dignified in the pic) so I hate calling you Dhakkan, anyways, it is a very good piece of mkt info. I have been using a more advanced version of the same for a few years now. I think this one will come as a exploration output, not on the screen live tick by tick.

It is definitely not junk if used properly.

All the best,
BAV

Unfortunately I get tired of lot of crap being said here. I have tremendous respect for a few people who have consistently adhered to high quality posts. Its not about newbie vs experienced, I just hate people shooting their mouth without bothering or wanting to understand. Nothing more to it, and nothing personal.

hey beginner_av, can u plz consider guys like me, who do not understand afl. If u can write in plain english what the code attempts to do it can be much helpful.

exactly something which i was trying to tell everyone in this forum. instead of afl,metastock,fibo , easy lang, if people can post in english strategies that would be good.

I have left amibroker quite some time back. But here's something for you.

The program tries to find out the trend in different periods, long term by 140 days, medium by 60 days and short term by 8 days.


Filter = 1; // all symbols and quotes accepted.
DTL=140; // DTL = Define Trend Long Self explanatory
DTM=60; // DTM = Define Trend Medium Self explanatory
DTS=8; // DTS = Define Trend Short Self explanatory

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

TL=LinRegSlope(MA(C, DTL),2); // TL = Trend Long This is the Linear Regression Slope of a simple moving average of the long term trend period, here 140 days

TM=LinRegSlope(MA(C, DTM),2); // TM = Trend Medium
TS=LinRegSlope(MA(C, DTS),2); // TS = Trend Short

TLL=IIf(LinRegSlope(MA(C, DTL),2) > 0,True, False); This checks whether linear Reg skope is > 0, ie uptrend

TMM=IIf(LinRegSlope(MA(C, DTM),2) > 0,True, False);
TSS=IIf(LinRegSlope(MA(C, DTS),2) > 0,True, False);

This checks the strength of the trend by checking the long term LinRegSlope and assigning +, ++ and +++ according to the defined threshold


TLLL=
WriteIf(TL>0 AND TL<0.3,"+",
WriteIf(TL>=0.3 AND TL<0.6 ,"+ +",
WriteIf(TL>=0.6,"+ + +",
WriteIf(TL<0 AND TL>-0.3,"-",
WriteIf(TL<=-0.3 AND TL>-0.6 ,"- -",
WriteIf(TL<=-0.6,"- - -",""))))));

Same for medium term and eventually short term


TMMM=
WriteIf(TM>0 AND TM<0.3,"+",
WriteIf(TM>=0.3 AND TM<0.6 ,"+ +",
WriteIf(TM>=0.6,"+ + +",
WriteIf(TM<0 AND TM>-0.3,"-",
WriteIf(TM<=-0.3 AND TM>-0.6 ,"- -",
WriteIf(TM<=-0.6,"- - -",""))))));

TSSS=
WriteIf(TS>0 AND TS<0.3,"+",
WriteIf(TS>=0.3 AND TS<0.6 ,"+ +",
WriteIf(TS>=0.6,"+ + +",
WriteIf(TS<0 AND TS>-0.3,"-",
WriteIf(TS<=-0.3 AND TS>-0.6 ,"- -",
WriteIf(TS<=-0.6,"- - -",""))))));

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

This is the output of the exploration. here along with the Strength, the color is decided using the direction of the trend



AddTextColumn( TLLL, "MA"+-DTL, 1 , colorDefault,
IIf( TLL==True, colorGreen, colorRed ),-1 );
AddTextColumn( TMMM, "MA"+-DTM, 1 , colorDefault,
IIf( TMM==True, colorGreen, colorRed ),-1 );
AddTextColumn( TSSS, "MA"+-DTS, 1 , colorDefault,
IIf( TSS==True, colorGreen, colorRed ),-1 );

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

Here the message in an exploration col output defines the trend

message=
WriteIf(TL>=0.3 AND TM>=0.3 AND
TS>=0.3, "Strong Up Trend",
WriteIf(TL<=-0.3 AND TM<=-0.3 AND
TS<=-0.3, "Strong Down Trend",
WriteIf(TLL==True AND TMM==True AND
TSS==True,"Up Trend",
WriteIf(TLL==False AND TMM==False AND
TSS==False,"Down Trend", "No Trend"))));


AddTextColumn( message, "Overall Trend", 1 ,
colorDefault,IIf(TLL==True AND TMM==True AND
TSS==True, colorGreen,
IIf(TLL==False AND TMM==False AND
TSS==False, colorRed, colorDefault )),-1 );

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

This is the part where the program is pointing whether the trend id starting, or mature etc


x = IIf(Cross(LinRegSlope(MA(C, DTL),2),0) OR
Cross(0, LinRegSlope(MA(C, DTL),2) ), True, False);
y = BarIndex()-ValueWhen(x==True, BarIndex(),1);

Phase=WriteIf(Y>=400,"Mature",WriteIf(Y>100 AND
Y<400, "Progress", WriteIf(Y<=100, "Initial", "")));
//AddColumn( y, "Trend Phase", 1 , colorDefault, -1);
AddTextColumn( Phase, "Trend Phase", 1 , colorDefault, -1);

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
Comments=
WriteIf(Y>=400,"Mature trend with risk of bubble",
WriteIf(y<400 AND TLL==True AND TMM==True AND TSS==True,
"Keep on coming baby $",
WriteIf(y<15 AND TLL==True AND TMM==True AND TSS==True OR
TLL==False AND TMM==False AND TSS==False,
"Are you going to grow up and become a big boy?",
WriteIf(y<400 AND TLL==False AND TMM==False AND TSS==False,
"Keep on coming baby $$",
WriteIf(TLL==True AND TMM==True AND TSS==False OR
TLL==False AND TMM==False AND TSS==True,
"Risk for short term reversal",
WriteIf(TLL==True AND TMM==False AND TSS==True OR
TLL==False AND TMM==True AND TSS==False,
"trading range-avoid",
"live to trade another day"))))));

AddTextColumn( Comments, "Comments", 1 ,
colorDefault,colorDefault,-1 );

... ur comments for the middle part of the code were helpful. Thanks for that.
Looks like the code gauges trend strength for intermediate term trading. I am a trend following scalper. Shall workout to see if that can be adapted to help me.

Abhijeet,

Your effort to involve us in the System building process would have provided us the fishing rod.Though i know Ready Made is the flavour nowadays.
