AmiBroker formula Language

Hello Friends

Can anybody guide me about how to use scanning future of AmiBroker?
If I want to scan list of stocks matching following conditions:

1. ADX is >30 and rising
2. Last bar was streddling 20EMA ie. H>20EMA>L
2. Close > previous close and L > 20EMA

Hi,

If you want all the above conditions to be met, then the AFL is:

Buy = ADX(14) > 30 AND PDI(14) > MDI(14)
AND H > EMA(C,20) AND EMA(C,20) > L
AND C > Ref(C,-1) AND L > EMA(C,20);

But I think either I'm wrong or the above conditions are individual one, because its not generating even one buy signal for my whole Amibroker database!

Yes, correct. Just converted the given statements into AFL statements, without checking them.

Sorry.

Hi,

Please refer to the Amibroker User Guide, which explains all the necessary things, in detail. It even gives some examples. Step by step procedures are there.

Please read through the whole User Guide, atleast once. That will solve most of your doubts.

After going through that, if you still have queries, post it in Traderji. Amibroker users will try to help you.

All the best,
Praveen.

1) If you are planning to learn AFL, first learn some important functions that are used frequently, from that guide. Then can go for other functions.

2) When you find time, just run through the basic parts of navigating and using Amibroker. Although it might seem trivial, there are some shortcut keys and small features hidden in between the lines, which I find very helpful in using Amibroker.

All the best.

Praveen.
