Stef, The reason it says that is probably because your price chart has fixed parameters that are not programable or changeable. The Param function allows you to do so but only if it is used in the indicator. Yes all indicators are built up with Amibroker Formula Language (AFL).
What Terry pointed out is that "you" need to learn AFL code so as to be able to create your "own" formulas instead of relying on others. When you open the help contents from within AB, it opens the Amibroker 4.80 User's Guide. Please read all sections right up to the section called "Technical Analysis". And please review the following video: http://www.amibroker.com/video/dd-newformula2.html This link was pulled from the same help file I am asking you to read. Then click on the tab called search, type in PARAM, and start clicking on the results. One of which will be titled AFL Function Reference. This will provide a description on how this function is used as well as many examples out of the library on how it is used. Study these and it will guide you to writing your own indicators to as you requested below.
