Amibroker For Dummies........a Beginner's Forum On How To Use Amibroker

[KelvinHand]

Hello Trash, Can't exactly say 'got it' but I am trying to. Let me digest the info I have received, then again will get back to this thread. I hope any novice user of Amibroker will be benefitted from this conversation, if followed closely. Thanx for your elaborate clarification to my questions.

This is my observation:

Scan is a simple version of exploration.
Kind of for users:
- First time user.
- without progamming experience at all OR
- some people who had metastock background, know simple command such as cross(macd(), signal()) ... etc.


What they need to concern is only Buy/Sell/Short/Cover condition.
Filter is not consider, AddColumn(), WriteIf() ...etc is not needed.


When scanning is carried out , it always shown you these 4 columns: Symbol, Trade, Date, Close.

That do the simple need that required to just highlight the stocks.

Here an example of candle exploration how metastock can do, that amibroker also can do it.
But it is a kind of tedious presentation.

As for exploration, required a bit of programming, in order to make analysis better.
Adding Filter, AddColumn, writeif statements, it will make presentable and readability,

- can highlight with colors - foreground & background
- can done like metastock, logic not only 1/0, but can be yes/no, on/off.
- because you can add text into exploration, the analysis can be more descriptive and informative.
for example
- candle pattern, can shown engulfing, doji, harami ...
- trend, can be Uptrend, DownTrend, No trend...
etc...

as compare to metastock, where you need to add more columns to represent all these information by 1 or 0.

Here a example of candlestick exploration that shown the amibroker can do better then metastock and metastock can not do it
And I believe you will like this presentation.

Lots of help, Trash. Thank U. Particularly last two postings made it sensible, why some codes for exploration fail to produce any result when scanned. The more I am into Ami, the more I am thinking why did I waste so much time in Metastock during last few years

However I haven't checked yet the url, you provided. But surely I will and post on that here.

kelvin sir ,
how to draw sr lines manually in weakly tf so that it appears on all other tf's like on 5 min , hourly and on daily also .

also sir is there any way by which , if we draw sr lines on weakly than it appears as different colour on lower tf's ,
and if we draw on daily than it automatically appears as different colour in lower tf's .
the main idea is to distinguish sr lines in lower tf's whether it is weakly or it is daily or it is hourly.

say u r putting line on weekly, draw ur line make it blue color, now right click >properties there is layers, make it default layer. as it it weekly line check thick line and uncheck dotted line

Same on daily tf give diff color n untick thick line, on intraday diff color but also tick dotted line

In scan can I make a group of selected stocks so that in scan it will check bu/sell signal only in that group

Dear Kelvin;


They are part of code which I intend to backtest.

I am simplifying it.

Buy=(C=H) AND (V>Ref(V ,-1);
Short=(C=L) AND (V>Ref(V ,-1);

Substitute these conditions and run explorer.You will find errors in exploration results.Pl. correct them.

Something missing:-
Top11, Top111;
bot11, bot111;
