I too am very keen to see Range Bars implemented in Amibroker. There has already been a couple of suggestions opened in the the AmiBroker Feedback Centre about this, (see #284 and #201). Range Bars, in my view, are THE best way to eliminate noise in any market.
As an example of what Range Bars actually are, have a look at their implementation in Fibonacci Trader in this link: http://www.fibonaccitrader.com/HELP40/Range%20Bar/default.htm Note that Range Bars are independent of time, the bar only closes when the range has completed. Note also that (by definition) Range Bars are all the same length, and properly implemented Range Bars do not have any gaps. Now there is no way I am going to use Fibonacci Trader over Amibroker. Fibonacci Trader is about 5 or 6 times more expensive and overall does not come close to AmiBroker in terms of ease of use and functionality. Everyone has their own view as to what extra functionality they would like to see added to certain software but I believe many people would find Range Bars extremely useful. Has anyone had a go at implementing Range Bars in Amibroker. I'm not even sure it would be possble. Anyway, I think the best way would to have them built into the Amibroker s/w.
