No need for counting. The STATUS BAR (bottom of AmiBroker window) displays number of bars used in real time as you move the mouse. Also cycle tool already works on BARS.
If you need to work on CALENDAR days instead, just go to View menu and select "Pad non trading days" (you need to use most recent beta for this feature) Best regards, Tomasz Janeczko amibroker.com ----- Original Message ----- From: wavemechanic To: [email protected] Sent: Tuesday, April 14, 2009 2:54 PM Subject: Re: [amibroker] Re: Cycles Tool AB's cycle tool does not support being able to specify a specific cycle length although that is a often found as a standard feature in charting programs. You could suggest that this be included in future updates in the feedback section. In the meantime, you have to write code for what you want - there might be some in the library or knowledge base that would provide a starting point.

Suppose, I want to set the cycle for 233 bars, how do you do that without counting out 233 bars? A very useful approach would be to have a "bars" selection instead of just dates. This feature is in the Automatic Analysis, imagine how hard that tool would be to use if you always had to know the dates you wanted to test over. Larry M.

Click on the tool, Click AND HOLD the mouse button down on the bar you want to start on, and DRAG out to the distance you want - Watch the lower left of the screen to see how many bars your cycle length is... Hope this helps. Blair ------------------------------------ **** IMPORTANT PLEASE READ **** This group is for the discussion between users only. This is *NOT* technical support channel.
