Re: [amibroker] OT: installing OS again

If you have many you always miss some and always have to serach for install disks, passwords, etc. My way around this is to add another harddisk and leave the old one intact and functional. Then install on the new Hard disk. You will still have to install all the programs but at least you can still access everything you missed copying.

This worked for me. I put a dummy rule in for condcolor to test. You can't
use Date(). That returns ONE string. DateNum() and DateTime() return arrays you
can first assign to a variable and then call the [i] version of that variable
in the loop. See below. Hope that helps.
condcolor= C MA(C,20) AND C MA(C,50) AND C MA(C,100) AND C Ref(C,-1)

Subject: Re: [amibroker] Re: How to limit to top 5 in an Exploration
You could sort the results, export the result table, read the top 5
tickers from the exported file into a new watchlist, and run another
exploration on that watchlist. All this can be automated in script -
check out OLE Automation in the help.
herman
You would have to limit the number of symbols in the exploration to 5 ;)
But seriously, I think that you're out of luck. One typical
approach would be to run the exploration, then select the first 5
and right click to select the popup menu for adding the selected
symbols to a new watchlist. Do whatever else you were planning on, but
using the new watchlist.

Hello,
My point is that it is obsolete and while it is valid it has drawbacks:
a) works only in regular backtest mode, does not work in raw, raw2,
raw2multi, and rotational modes
b) because exremspan processes entire array the formula would not take into
account Range setting
(i.e. buys will occur every 5th bar since the beginning of quotations,
not since range start, if range is not all quotes, then first buy may not
occur on first in-range bar).
In order to account for range setting you would need to add
Status(barinrange)
c) its operation depends on trade delays being equal
ApplyStop method does _not_ have any of the above problems.

Hi Thomasz, thanks for the speedy reply, v much appreciated.
Please note that I am running the exploration code with ONLY SPY selected as
the current symbol in AA - it does not use a filter at all, so your calculation
is not correct. It is 1 Symbol (SPY) * Num Bars * 22 Columns.
I am using EOD data, so the number_of_bars is approx 3000. I specifically
want a matrix with dates down the side, and tickers across the top, with RSI2
EOD values in the cells - this would be a matrix 3000*20 = 60,000 cells -
easily handled in excel.
I am fully aware of the standard way of running the code, that you mention
below - however this does not create a matrix - it creates a list, which then
has to be manually formatted for my purposes into a matrix. I plan on rolling
this out on the full nasdaq 100, which would mean a list of 3000 * 100 Tickers
= 300,000 rows and excel (2003) cannot handle that. It can however, handle a
matrix of 3000 rows * 100 Columns quite easily, hence the requirement for the
matrix.
I am still stumped as to my original example, why running it on EOD data over
3000 bars * 20 Tickers would crash it.
Normally, Amibroker would chew something like this up . . .
Thanks again for your assistance

Hello,
Hmm... you are not giving enough details therefore way too much is left
for guessing
Your formula should not crash, unless you are using some huge number of
bars (1+ million?) but it is written inefficent and redundant. If you
run your formula for 20 symbols and all bars (as you seem to be doing)
you will create 20 rows * Number_of_bars * 22 columns (20 columns for
symbols +name + date/time) With say one million bars (number_of_bars)
you will end up having 440 000 000 cells. This may be reason of running
out of memory, not to mention that Excel won't take such table.
It is *WAY* more efficient to do it right way, i.e. using the simple code:
AddColumn( RSI( 2 ), RSI, 1.2 );
Filter = 1;
and setting Apply to ALL SYMBOLS.
This will make AMiBroker iterate through all symbols and will be MUCH
faster and LESS resource consuming than using your code. And you will
end up with table having 20 rows * number_of_bars * 3 columns
(name+date/time+rsi value),
so with same one million bars under test you will have only 60 000 000
cells (6 times less than your code).
You mention the dates but you don't mention the INTERVAL? So data are
from 1998 til now BUT...
at what interval? EOD ? Intraday (1-hour?, 1 - minute ???).
You need to keep in mind that if you are using 1-minute data, assuming 8
trading hours per day gives 12 bars per year and 12 years gives 1.44
million bars. Each bar is 40 bytes. So each symbol intraday 1-minute
data for 12 years back is about 60MB of data (for quotations alone). 20
symbols put into cache would be 1.2 gigabyte for data alone. This added
to nearly one billion cells generated by your formula (assuming that
your data set is as large as I have been guessing here)
Anyway use
Tools-Performance Monitor
to see free memory changes.

The code below works fine (and indeed very quickly) when you limit the

stocks, it freezes and amibroker crashes.
In order to replicate, just take the code below and run the exploration
on SPY ONLY between 1998 and Today. It should work fine. Then uncomment the
second batch of tickers and run it - does this crash your machine? Any ideas
as to why?
I have searched the posts for answers but nothing has helped so far. I
presume its a memory problem of some sort.
Note that I have the following settings in preferences, Data tab:

I'm in trading just now, so I'll have to wait for market to close before spending much more time on this. However as I originally said, this isn't difficult to code once you write out the conditions you are looking to be met. What have you tried so far? As an example to get you started (and without doing this is AB, but it should work) consider the following to code for two days up (your definition: Open previous day's close + close close of previous day): PCondUP2 = ( O ref(C,-1) and C REF(C,-1) ) AND ( REF(O,-1) REF(C,-2) AND REF(C,-1) REF(C,-2) ) ; Do you see how to refer to the open or close and the prior close as well as tie price actions for different days together? The same will work for any array (StochK(15,3) , PDI(14), etc. While you could run all coding into a single Filter = , when you first start out (and even later), I recommend writing out each of your conditions as a separate statement and then linking them in the filter as Filter = PCondUP2 and PCondUP3 and ... etc. That way if you have a problem with your coding, you can isolate it quickly or if you decide you want to add or delete conditions, it is relatively easy to do so. This condition approach also allows for easy construction of Buy or Sell statements, putting signals (arrows, triangles, etc.) on a chart, as well as constructing different ribbons to depict conditions or coloring your candles based on one or more conditions. Adding information in a title statement is also facilitated. Complex code execution can also be speeded up by making conditions dependent on each other. I'll check back in a few hours after the market closes to see how you are doing. I would rather you learn how to fish than I just give you a fish to eat today.

Subject: [amibroker] A BACKTESTING HURDLE
say i run backtest, and on any given month, the scanner generates 4 ASX
stocks, is there something in the Settings menu that will allow me to take all
of those trades? instead of just the one - which the backtest seems to be
doing. Specifically, it defaults to taking the first one in the list generated
The reason I ask is that when I generated a trade list i noticed there was
quite a large number of ASX stocks starting with the letter A. Out of 1,200 odd
trades over the 10 year period, about 500 were starting with A.
I found this to be a little peculiar.
Anyway, upon looking further into this, I realized that if the scanner
generated say 4 ASX stocks to go long on then it would pick the first one:
ie.
ALL
BHP
NAB (lets say NAB has the best set up)
WOW
The system would pick ALL, becuase its first on list. And if in the next
month the same list was generated only this time, there was no ALL, then BHP
would be picked. And so on.
Thanks for your help on this

Thanks...but that does not seem to be the problem..when there is a signal
buy or sell...cumCST starts at 0.10 and increments by 0.003 as per the
formula...that is not happeningit must be something else

Keith,
Thanks...but that does not seem to be the problem..when there is a signal
buy or sell...cumCST starts at 0.10 and increments by 0.003 as per the

And, this is the challenge, I do not want to trade any days with less than 5 signals. How do I make the Portfolio Backtester only trade days with at least 5 signals and skip days which have less than 5 signals during the first 5 minutes? I am looking for a simple, non-CBT, solution.

Previous days range, opens $1, high $1.02, low $0.95, closes $0.94.
Next day it opens 90c, closes 98c (back within the previous days range),

Joseph,
I just did what you described I opened the price formula using edit
formula.I copy and pasted the formula from the email into
the price formula...and then clicked apply
I GOT THE SAME ERROR MESSAGES AS YOU...
The problem is WORD WRAP check the formula that you added...there
will be spaces
throughout the formula...you have to remove the spaces...
Look at the email you sent me in response LOOK AT THE SPACES throughout
the formula you added at the bottom..

The following code will return a 1 when the negative DMI crosses above
the positive DMI.
mdmi = MDI(13);
pdmi = PDI(13);
dmicrossing = Cross(mdmi,pdmi);
However, what I want to know is how many days have passed since the
negative DMI crossed above the positive DMI. I have looked through the
AFL formulas for a Days Since Crossing function but did not find one.
Can anyone help me with the code to perform this function?
Thanks,
Alan

several zones?
Hi Paul,
in your case is definitely better to do as already suggest by the other guys
but, according to me, sometimes it could be useful to divide one pane in two or
more zones. the reason could be:
1) to share variables without using Static variables (to keep AFL more simple)
2) to have zones syncronized in a very fluid way (panes that share static
variables are, at the best, syncronized every 1s setting RequestTimedRefresh( 1
); )
I usually do it using the following functions to calculate min and max value
to be used in plot with styleownscale
I hope it could help

You are right!
I don't use blank bars at the right indeed, so I never noticed it before
if you set them at 0 it works

I wihs to sort all my database's stocks by using the productivity's indicator

The matter is that I use a For loop by accessing to each elements .And that
is not a array .
If I want to sort I must use a filter and the function setsortcolums .But
filter and sortcolumms need data array .

Your solution will plot zero for the first 2 bars when it should be NULL.
If the original poster wanted to keep your structure (i.e. IIF and no
pre-assignament of OneHigh, TwoHigh, ThreeHigh), then just change the
initialization of ResLine to ResLine = NULL.

Thanks for the suggestion. I tried this, but the results didn't match the

Betreff: [amibroker] Help!! simple looping problem???
Hi, This is probably an easy one, but I'm struggling with looping through
arrays in afl. Have a look at the simple code below.
( copy+paste into editor then drag into price pane ).
//Resline.afl
//
OneHigh = H;
TwoHigh = Ref(H,-1);
ThreeHigh = Ref(H,-2);
ResLine = ValueWhen( ThreeHigh TwoHigh AND TwoHigh OneHigh,TwoHigh,1);
Plot(ResLine,ResLine, ParamColor( Color, colorCycle ),
ParamStyle(Style) );
I tried to write a 'for,if' loop to replace the previous code, but it's
not
working. Can anyone correct the following code sample for me please???
Thank-you to all.
ResLine[0] = 0;
for(i=2; iBarCount; i++)
{
if(H[i-2] H[i-1] AND H[i-1] H[i])
{
ResLine = H[i-1];
}
//Plot(ResLine,ResLine,colorRed, styleLine|styleThick); //inside loop
plots multiple lines
}
Plot(ResLine,ResLine,colorRed, styleLine|styleThick); //outside loop
plots
single line (most recent value when condition is met)

Hi Thomas,
Thanks for the suggestion. I tried this, but the results didn't match the
previous code sample. I just got spiking lines where the indicator reset
itself to zero, after each iteration? I'm assuming that this code correction
goes in at line 7? could you please make the correction to the looping
sample and re-post? I'd really appreciate it.

Re: [amibroker] Re: Help!! simple looping problem???
Thomas,
I beg to differ with youremove your second code snippet from the first code
snippet and
plot it aloneyou will see that it does not plot like the first...with the
same stair step...
I do not believe he wishes to plot both together...he is trying to convert the
first code snippet
from AFLinto a looping fomula ...
Here is the code that produces the exact same results as the first AFL code
snippet..
resline = 0;
for( i = 2; i BarCount; i++ )
{
prev = resline[ i - 1];
resline[ i ] = IIf( H[i-2] H[i-1] AND H[i-1] H[i], H[i-1], prev );
}
Plot(ResLine,ResLine,colorRed, styleLine|styleThick);

Hi Anthony,
Yes, it was the case in this first attempt, because he stored a single value
inside his loop: ResLine = H[i-1];
Now the code plots both lines identically.
