Hello, Such information is not relevant to system/indicator coding. It does not matter from end-user point of view - it does not affect the result of calculation.
In AmiBroker number of bars processed is dynamic. You should not make any assumptions on number of executions or number of bars processed. It depends on tens of factors too long to be listed here. You can control/turn off the QuickAFL using SetBarsRequired http://www.amibroker.com/f?setbarsrequired As to variable handling - AmiBroker uses minimum representation required. If it is enough to store a number - it uses only 4 bytes (IEEE floating) pint. Whenever needed the number can be and is automatically upsized to array without need to worry. It simply works and does all necessary conversion on-the-fly. That's all you need to know. Everything what is important to you as an end user is explained in the User's Guide. http://www.amibroker.com/guide/h_understandafl.html Best regards, Tomasz Janeczko amibroker.com ----- Original Message ----- From: "progster01" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, November 21, 2007 3:08 PM Subject: [amibroker] Re: Struggling to Learn > --- In [email protected], "Tomasz Janeczko" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > >> Actually it is covered fully in the User's Guide: >> http://www.amibroker.com/guide/h_understandafl.html > > Yes, I've read that section of the User's Guide.
