Here is the required AFL:

_SECTION_BEGIN("BarChart");
SetChartOptions(0,chartShowArrows|chartShowDates);
_N(Title = StrFormat("{{NAME}} - {{INTERVAL}} {{DATE}} Open %g, Hi %g, Lo %g, Close %g (%.1f%%) Vol " +WriteVal( V, 1.0 ) +" {{VALUES}}", O, H, L, C, SelectedValue( ROC( C, 1 )) ));
UpColor = ParamColor("UpColor", colorBrightGreen);
DownColor = ParamColor("DownColor", colorRed);
MyColour = IIf(C >= O, UpColor, DownColor);
PlotOHLC(O,H,L,C,"Price", MyColour, styleBar);
Plot( Volume, _DEFAULT_NAME(), IIf(C>O, ParamColor("UpVolume", colorBlue), ParamColor("DownVolume", colorViolet)), ParamStyle( "Style", styleHistogram | styleOwnScale | styleThick, maskHistogram  ), 2 );
_SECTION_END();

Hi Swagat,

I don't see any syntax error in the code. I double checked it. I'm using Amibroker 4.9.

Let me know the exact error which you are getting, along with the line where it is throwing the error.

Praveen.

Backtesting and Automatic Analysis are very powerful in Amibroker. Fortunately backtesting is simple and if you face any problems, post here. Amibroker users can try to help you out.

All the best,
Praveen.

Dear Praveen and all,

Hi, i m back to disturb u all again.

Basically i m looking for an AFL for crossover of EMA 5 and EMA 13.

Buy when EMA 5 crosses from below EMA 13 and price also above the crossover
Sell when opposite happens
basically would like it for 30 or 60 minute, so that i can have stop loss as the low of previous bar for longs and vice versa for shorts.

I know i m asking for too much, but i have got a lot in past too.

with regards,

Sunil

Try this...

Buy=Cross(EMA(Close,3),EMA(Close,13));
Sell=Cross(EMA(Close,13),EMA(Close,3));
PlotShapes(IIf(Buy,shapeUpArrow,shapeNone),colorBlue);
PlotShapes(IIf(Sell,shapeDownArrow,shapeNone),colorRed);

Hi,

To add to Subratabera's code, the below AFL is the generalized one. You can give any EMA periods to both short and long periods.

You can use it for Explore also in Automatic Analysis.

_SECTION_BEGIN("EmaCrossoverSystem");
SetChartOptions(0,chartShowArrows|chartShowDates);
_N(Title = StrFormat("{{NAME}} - {{INTERVAL}} {{DATE}} Open %g, Hi %g, Lo %g, Close %g (%.1f%%) Vol " +WriteVal( V, 1.0 ) +" {{VALUES}}", O, H, L, C, SelectedValue( ROC( C, 1 )) ));

ShortPeriod = Param("ShortPeriod", 5, 2, 200, 1);
LongPeriod = Param("LongPeriod", 13, 2, 200, 1);

Buy=Cross(EMA(C,ShortPeriod),EMA(C,LongPeriod));
Sell=Cross(EMA(C,LongPeriod),EMA(C,ShortPeriod));

MYcolor = IIf( EMA(C,ShortPeriod) > EMA(C,LongPeriod) AND C>Peak(C,3,1), colorBrightGreen, IIf(EMA(C,LongPeriod) > EMA(C,ShortPeriod) AND C<Peak(C,3,1), colorRed, colorBlue));
PlotOHLC( Open,  High,  Low,  Close, "", Mycolor, styleBar   ); 

shape = Buy * shapeUpArrow + Sell * shapeDownArrow;
PlotShapes( shape, IIf( Buy, colorGreen, colorRed ),0, IIf( Buy, Low, High ) );

Filter=Buy OR Sell;

SetOption("NoDefaultColumns", True );
AddColumn( DateTime(), "Date", formatDateTime );
AddTextColumn( FullName(), "Full name", 77 , colorDefault, IIf( Buy, colorGreen, colorRed ) );
AddColumn( IIf( Buy, 66, 83 ), "Signal", formatChar, colorDefault, bkcolor =IIf (Buy,colorGreen, colorRed ));
_SECTION_END();
