See Steve's reply because the big difference in AFL is the array processing as Steve explained.

 

The books were for Excel VBA programming (macros) because that's what you asked for. VBA is, in a way, quite similar to AB when using loops. They are just constructed a little different. I learned Basic programming first, then VBA (which is also a variation of BASIC). I picked up AFL from there with a little intro by an experienced trader and then just doing it, reading help files and asking a few questions along the way.

 

Just look at some of the basic formulas you find in AB charts or the library. Take the ones that don't look too complicated and understand them. Change a few things. You'll be surprised at what you can learn. There is also (someone please help here) an automated AFL code writer. You tell it your rules and it writes code. You can then see what it did.

Hi Terry,

Noticed you reccomended these 2 books...I have absolutely no problem coding in Amibroker,but I do run into problems with coding such as this..

 for( i = 0; i < *BarCount*; i++ )
{
 if( priceatbuy == 0 *AND* *Buy*[ i ] )

   {
      priceatbuy = *BuyPrice*[ i ];

 

How would one become proficient/knowledgable in writing code such as this???

Is this AFL???  or

Is this sort of language inherent in every language?

Would either of the 2 books you reccomended assist me in this task?

If you or anyone could point me in the direction of a "Dummies " book,that would be great.I would just like to be proficient at writing/understanding code such as the snippet above

 

Someone reccomended Beggining Programming for Dummies by Wang...

 

Any thoughts deeply appreciated

 

Allan
