RE: [amibroker] Candlestick pattern scan

[Terry]

You are confusing #include with functions in other programs.   All an include does is COPY the lines of code from the include file and INSERTS them into your code IN PLACE OF the #include line.   It is EXACTLY THE SAME as if you just typed those lines in your code.   Amibroker does have function calls. In the second example I gave, the include was coded as a function call. Thus this include WOULD have to be place near the top of your code since the function must be "seen" before it is "called". Any, yes, this function will never do anything unless and until you call it. However, the first version as noted above is just inline code and it gets executed as if you had typed in there in the first place. -- Terry -----Original Message----- From: amibroker@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ton Sieverding Sent: Sunday, September 10, 2006 02:45 To: amibroker@yahoogroups.com Subject: Re: [amibroker] Candlestick pattern scan   Terry thanks. Some remarks and questions about the use of includes.   1. When entering an include in the code it does not mean that you are calling the function. The link for the external function when running the code is available. That's all. Therefore I still do not understand why it should not be called in your code.   2. In most languages I know, you must place the includes as the first line in the code. You have placed the include as the last line. Can I place includes in AFL where ever I want to place them ?   Ton.     ----- Original Message ----- From: Terry To: amibroker@yahoogroups.com Sent: Saturday, September 09, 2006 7:42 PM Subject: RE: [amibroker] Candlestick pattern scan   All this does is change the background color of the chart. The first version IS used because it does not need to be "called" to work since it is not a function.   For those that don't realize what an Include file is: It simple INSERTS the include code in place of the #include line. It is the SAME as you typing the code inline and it just a convenience to a) make your code easier to read, b) save you time in re-writing code you frequently use. An #include is NOT a function, unless you design it as such as in my second example. -- Terry -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]ps.com [mailto:amibroker@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Ton Sieverding Sent: Saturday, September 09, 2006 11:04 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]ps.com Subject: Re: [amibroker] Candlestick pattern scan   Thanks. Question of course is why entering the code because you did not use it in your code anyway ?   Ton.   ----- Original Message ----- From: Terry To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]ps.com Sent: Saturday, September 09, 2006 2:26 AM Subject: RE: [amibroker] Candlestick pattern scan   Didn't realize that was in there. I made it. It's very short and used as a convenience.   //One version     BkgColor = ColorHSB( Param("Hue", 75, 0, 240 ),     Param( "Saturation", 50, 0, 240 ),     Param("Brightness", 200, 0, 240 ));     SetChartBkColor( BkgColor );   //Another version as a function you can call function SetBackColor( HUE, SAT, BRI ) {     if (Version(0) >= 4.75)     {         BkgColor = ColorHSB(             Param("Hue", HUE, 0, 240 ),             Param( "Saturation", SAT, 0, 240 ),             Param("Brightness", BRI, 0, 240 ));         SetChartBkColor( BkgColor );     } }   -- Terry -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]ps.com [mailto:amibroker@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Ton Sieverding Sent: Friday, September 08, 2006 01:41 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]ps.com Subject: Re: [amibroker] Candlestick pattern scan   Terry where did you find the Color-Background inlude ?   Ton. ----- Original Message ----- From: Terry To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]ps.com Sent: Thursday, September 07, 2006 9:48 PM Subject: RE: [amibroker] Candlestick pattern scan   See attached AFL I got from someone on this board and/or AB library. -- Terry -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]ps.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]ps.com] On Behalf Of infynhome Sent: Thursday, September 07, 2006 10:15 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]ps.com Subject: [amibroker] Candlestick pattern scan HI, Need help on creating scans for specifically scanning candlestick patterns: Dark cloud cover Morning and evening star doji hammer and hanging man I would appreciate if there are seperate scans for each of this pattern.
