Tomasz , you should have suggested this to me 25 years ago, since I've been programming that long (maybe longer, but I stopped counting) . I've programmed professionally , including database applications, for almost that long as well.
I do notice that some users take it personally if the AB presentation is criticized. This is a bad sign, and prevents improvements from taking place. Offering me my money back is not a good reply. lol. I have done battle (and won) with many peculiar languages, including Tradestation. I am not a newbie. But I do feel this AFL is unnecessarily obtuse. In the version of HELP that I am using there is no cross reference to ExRemSpan under BarsSince, which would have pointed me to the solution to my problem. A language like this MUST have as many cross references , examples, and CLEAR explanations as possible. You may not like my tone, but take it as a compliment, if I didn't think AB was a useful product I wouldn't even bother, --- In [email protected], "Tomasz Janeczko" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Homar, > > Shortly, I strongly suggest to exclusively use AFL Code wizard > http://www.amibroker.com/devlog/2007/05/18/introducing-afl-code-wizard/ > > it is completely user-interface driven formula builder that requires zero programming knowledge. > > Coding is not for everyone, the same as writing poems is not for everyone. > It does not matter how many books you read and how good are those books. > Without certain natural skill you won't be a poet. > > And just smile, you don't need to be a poet to be good trader.
