Lloyd, I have a terrible confession to make. After several years, I have not learned half of AmiBroker's capabilities. Perhaps not even one quarter. I have only learned the part that I needed to learn to accomplish my own narrowly defined trading vision. My understanding of AFL has increased bit by bit as I desired to accomplish things that were not even originally intended by the developer.
If you know what you want to accomplish in your trading plan, then you can build up what you need to know to do that --piece by piece over time. If you have no idea what you want to do, then of course you need to figure that out first by reading about others work and experimenting with ideas. Don't worry if you don't understand when someone is speaking about calculus when you are still studying algebra. You have to build your understanding from the basics first. Just like many things, it all seems like Greek, then suddenly the light dawns and it all makes sense. If you ask about specific things you don't understand, many on this list are eager to help.
