Well, here is one last thought - you could try renaming the AFL by removing the leading underscore. I only mention it because the _Section_Begin and End's start with an underscore, so possibly it could be triggering some sort of unwanted behavior...just a thought...
Once you have dropped a few copies onto the chart, try opening the chart code to see if AB added the Section_Begin and Section_End's in the right places - if not you could try adding them yourself to see what happens... ----- Original Message ----- From: MarkK To: [email protected] Sent: Wednesday, February 11, 2009 3:55 PM Subject: RE: [amibroker] Re: Creating a Year over Year comparison screen Steve, There must be something wrong with my computer I am getting the same issue when I drag the afl the third time MarkK From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Steve Dugas Sent: Wednesday, February 11, 2009 3:47 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [amibroker] Re: Creating a Year over Year comparison screen Hi Mark - I just looked at the code you posted, looks like it has some Section_Begins but no Section_Ends, that is probably your problem. The original code should not have either of these lines, here is a fresh copy. Try doing these steps, which works good for me... 1. Double-click on the AFL, that should pop up a new chart with one line on it. 2. Now drag and drop the same AFL as many times as you want onto the same chart. 3. Open params, click on refrsh, now go ahead and set all params how you want them.

Before going further, can you dragging and dropping all copies to the chart? That's what I do and so far so good....

I close the parameters box and then open it again and only have two Seasonality there to set Attached is the chart I end up on the third overlay along with the Parameters box and the updated afl too Thank you for your help MarkK From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Steve Dugas Sent: Wednesday, February 11, 2009 2:08 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [amibroker] Re: Creating a Year over Year comparison screen Hi Mark - I jusr checked mine, it is still working fine with 12 copies dropped on the same chart. If you can be more specific about what is happening I could try to work with you to fix it...

New code is below. Changes ( shown in attached pic ) are 1. new title format 2. can set to foreign ticker now 2. scroll current year backward, then match dates to see "projected" market direction from other years 3. setting begin/end values shows color-coded performance for that period in the title No more changes coming so it is safe to "upgrade" if you want. 8 - ) *************************************** // Seasonality SetBarsRequired( sbrAll, sbrAll ); SetChartOptions( 0, chartShowDates ); Ticker = ParamStr( "Ticker", "CURRENT" ); ShiftBars = Param( "Shift Bars", 0, -5200, 5200, 1 ); UpColor = ParamColor( "Up Color", colorSkyblue ); DownColor = ParamColor( "Down Color", colorBlue ); UnchColor = ParamColor( "Unch Color", colorWhite ); Style = ParamStyle( "Style", styleLine, maskAll ); NewLine = ParamToggle( "New Title Line", "No|Yes", 1 ); GraphZOrder = ParamToggle( "GraphZOrder", "0|1", 1 ); GraphXSpace = Param( "GraphXSpace", 0, 0, 100, 1); if ( Ticker == "CURRENT" ) { TickerPrice = Close; TickerName = Name(); } else { TickerPrice = Foreign( Ticker, "close" ); TickerName = Ticker; } if ( NewLine ) NewTitleLine = "\n"; else NewTitleLine = ""; ShiftedClose = Ref( TickerPrice, -ShiftBars ); YestShiftedClose = Ref( ShiftedClose, -1 ); Color = IIf( ShiftedClose > YestShiftedClose, UpColor, IIf( ShiftedClose < YestShiftedClose, DownColor, UnchColor ) ); if ( ShiftBars < 0 AND SelectedValue( BarIndex() ) >= BarCount + ShiftBars ) ChartDate = "FUTURE"; else ChartDate = NumToStr( Ref( Year(), -ShiftBars ), 1.0 ) + "-" + NumToStr( Ref( Month(), -ShiftBars ), 1.0 ) + "-" + NumToStr( Ref( Day(), -ShiftBars ), 1.0 ); TickerPctChg = ( EndValue( ShiftedClose ) - BeginValue( ShiftedClose ) ) / BeginValue( ShiftedClose ) * 100; if ( BeginValue( BarIndex() ) == 0 ) { TickerPctChgStr = "N/A"; TickerPctChgColor = colorBlack; } else { TickerPctChgStr = NumToStr( TickerPctChg, 0.1 ); TickerPctChgColor = IIf( TickerPctChg > 0, colorBrightGreen, IIf( TickerPctChg < 0, colorRed, colorWhite ) ); } Title = VarGetText("Title") + NewTitleLine + EncodeColor( SelectedValue( Color ) ) + TickerName + " Seasonality" + EncodeColor( colorBlack ) + " " + ChartDate + " ( " + ShiftBars + " )" + EncodeColor( TickerPctChgColor ) + " ( " + TickerPctChgStr + " ) = " + EncodeColor( SelectedValue( Color ) ) + ShiftedClose; Plot( ShiftedClose, "Shifted Close", Color, Style ); ----- Original Message ----- From: "Steve Dugas" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, January 24, 2009 1:31 PM Subject: Re: [amibroker] Re: Creating a Year over Year comparison screen > Thank you for posting - I was getting my beauty sleep... 8 - ) > > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "reinsley" <[email protected]> > To: <[email protected]> > Sent: Saturday, January 24, 2009 10:35 AM > Subject: [amibroker] Re: Creating a Year over Year comparison screen > > >> >> >> // Seasonality >> >> SetChartOptions( 0, chartShowDates ); >> >> ShiftBars = Param( "Shift Bars", 0, -5200, 5200, 1 ); >> UpColor = ParamColor( "Up Color", colorSkyblue ); >> DownColor = ParamColor( "Down Color", colorBlue ); >> UnchColor = ParamColor( "Unch Color", colorWhite ); >> Style = ParamStyle( "Style", styleLine, maskAll ); >> NewLine = ParamToggle( "New Title Line", "No|Yes", 1 ); >> GraphZOrder = ParamToggle( "GraphZOrder", "0|1", 1 ); >> GraphXSpace = Param( "GraphXSpace", 0, 0, 100, 1); >> >> ShiftedClose = Ref( Close, -ShiftBars ); >> YestShiftedClose = Ref( ShiftedClose, -1 ); >> >> Color = IIf( ShiftedClose > YestShiftedClose, UpColor, IIf( >> ShiftedClose < YestShiftedClose, DownColor, UnchColor ) ); >> if ( NewLine ) >> NewTitleLine = "\n"; >> else >> NewTitleLine = ""; >> Title = VarGetText("Title") + NewTitleLine >> + EncodeColor( SelectedValue( Color ) ) + "Seasonality ( " + >> ShiftBars + " ) " + NumToStr( Ref( DateNum(), -Shiftbars ), 1.0 ); >> Plot( ShiftedClose, "Shifted Close", Color, Style ); >> >> >> >> >> --- In [email protected], "pacific5_au" <pacific5...@...> wrote: >>> >>> Hi Steve >>> >>> Could you please post the afl coding in a message.
