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 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
