this is another afl which gives good result(buy/sell arrow) on chart but has no sufficient variables/conditions for scan with auto-analyses function of Amibroker. If any afl expert add buy/sell variables/conditons in it for auto-analyses function, it will be very usefull for swing trading. I will be grateful to him
