Hi DM,
I have been trying to get the distance between two pivots and have looked all over the net but have not found anything yet,what i am looking for is an AFL which will show me the distance between two pivots ie pivot and a mid point on the chart,or at least the distance from the pivot point to the mid point between R1 and the pivot point and the distance between pivot point to the mid point below ie the mid point from from the pivot and the S1 ,my AFL for Pivot+mid point is as follows;
_SECTION_BEGIN("ppint");
H1=SelectedValue( TimeFrameGetPrice( "H", inDaily, -1 ));
L1=SelectedValue(TimeFrameGetPrice( "L", inDaily, -1 ));
C1=SelectedValue(TimeFrameGetPrice( "C", inDaily, -1 ));
//O1=SelectedValue(TimeFrameGetPrice( "O", inDaily));

/*PIVOT Calculation*/

//p = ( H1+ L1 + O1 )/3;
p = ( H1+ L1 + C1 )/3;
s1 = (2*p)-H1;
r1 = (2*p)-L1;
s2 = p -(H1 - L1);
s3 = S1 - (H1-L1);
r2 = p +(H1 - L1);
r3 = R1 +(H1-L1);
R4 = R2 +(H1-L1);
S4 = S2 -(H1-L1);


//Plot(R4,"R4",colorRed);
//Plot((r4+r3)/2, "Mid Value of R4 & R3 - ",colorWhite,styleDashed,1,styleNoTitle);
//Plot (r3,"R3",colorRed,styleNoTitle);
//Plot((r3+r2)/2, "Mid Value of R2 & R3 - ",colorWhite,styleDashed,1,styleNoTitle);
//Plot (r2,"R2",colorWhite,styleDashed,styleNoTitle);
//Plot((r1+r2)/2, "Mid Value of R1 & R2 - ",colorWhite,styleDashed,1,styleNoTitle);
Plot (r1,"R1",colorWhite,styleDashed,styleNoTitle);
Plot((p+r1)/2, "Mid Value of R1 & Pivot ",colorWhite,styleDashed,1,styleNoTitle);

Plot (p,"Pivot",colorOrange,styleDashed,styleNoTitle);

Plot((p+s1)/2, "Mid Value of S1 & Pivot ",colorWhite,styleDashed,1,styleNoTitle);
Plot (s1,"S1",colorWhite,styleDashed,styleNoTitle);
Plot((s1+s2)/2, "Mid Value of S1 & S2 - ",colorWhite,styleDashed,1,styleNoTitle);
Plot (s2,"S2",colorWhite,styleDashed,styleNoTitle);
//Plot((s3+s2)/2, "Mid Value of S2 & S3 ",colorWhite,styleDashed,1,styleNoTitle);
//Plot (s3,"S3",colorGreen,styleNoTitle);
//Plot((s3+s4)/2, "Mid Value of S4 & S3 ",colorWhite,styleDashed,1,styleNoTitle);
//Plot(S4,"S4",colorGreen);

Would request you to kindly help me with the same.

Hi Debarghya
I am also a newbie and trying to learn the AFL but i am using amibroker 4.8 ....

Some AFLs do not work on my 4.8 Ami, they show such errors like

Syntax error, expecting ')" or ','

etc.

could you please consider to publish the required plugin link or please PM to me.

Hai DM

When we use "alertif" command for autoscan, we will get the results in alert window. For a buy signal, I need to get Blue Up Arrow and for a Sell signal, Red Down Arrow.

When I used the below commands, i got the result as up arrow for both buy and sell.

AlertIf( Buy, "", "Buy", 4 );
AlertIf( Sell, "", "Sell", 4);

 

[Debarghya Mukherjee]

Use this code:

AlertIf( Buy, "", "Buy Signal Has been Generated", 1 );
AlertIf( Sell, "", "Sell Signal Has been Generated", 2 );

Hai DM

Can you put a line horizontal to Price, like below, when price move, this line also need to move, so we can get an idea, whether current price is equal to previous high or low.

I am trying to get amibroker to plot a price chart using EOD data converted from metastock with "no gap" option so I get one smooth continuous priceline display...and this chart..I would like to plot EMAs and any other indicators based on the data
from this "no gap" dataset...is that possible?
