No doubt "jooleanlogic" approach works. However, this approach has several
drawbacks: 1. Each time one has to copy and paste the data loading afl you
described below, which makes each afl longer and less overviewable and 2.
One now has a datafile inside the AMIBroker root directory (Although
presumably it could be redirected to a data directory; in both cases it
requires occasional data look up and review/edit). An easier way, if one
wants to use this approach, is to place the dataload afl in the "include"
directory (Repl Study "jooleanlogic".afl) which therefore is now at least
universally accessible by each afl that requires it. Then load this afl
after the Plot statement. (Don't ask me why: One would think that it should
be before the Plot statement; possibly something to do with layers).
This will result in:
//Repl Study "jooleanlogic" Complete.afl
Title = EncodeColor(4)+ _DEFAULT_NAME()+"; "+EncodeColor(1) +
StrFormat("{{NAME}} - {{INTERVAL}}; {{DATE}}; O=%g, H=%g, L=%g, C=%g
(%.1f%%)
{{VALUES}}", O, H, L, C, SelectedValue( ROC( C, 1 ) ) );
Plot(C, "Close",1,64); //has to be before Include statement
#include < Repl Study "jooleanlogic".afl>
//Plot(C, "Close",1,64);//Will not plot C if after include statement!!!!
====================================================
I normally use an even simpler approach. (Unless the data are already in a
file in a prescribed format and in addition there are many data points, and
one therefore is somewhat boxed in). I generate a simple data afl that
already includes Plot statements in the include directory ("Repl Study
Simplified.afl") and access this afl thru an include statement in the actual
Plot Afl ("Repl Study Simpl Complete.afl"). This way I only have to copy 1
Line (#include <Repl Study Simplified.afl>).
//Repl Study Simpl Complete.afl
Title = EncodeColor(4)+ _DEFAULT_NAME()+"; "+EncodeColor(1) +
StrFormat("{{NAME}} - {{INTERVAL}}; {{DATE}}; O=%g, H=%g, L=%g, C=%g
(%.1f%%)
{{VALUES}}", O, H, L, C, SelectedValue( ROC( C, 1 ) ) );
Plot(C, "Close",1,64); //has to be before Include statement
#include <Repl Study Simplified.afl>
//Repl Study Simplified.AFL in Include Directory
Title = EncodeColor(4)+ _DEFAULT_NAME()+"; "+EncodeColor(1) +
StrFormat("{{NAME}} - {{INTERVAL}}; {{DATE}}; O=%g, H=%g, L=%g, C=%g
(%.1f%%)
{{VALUES}}", O, H, L, C, SelectedValue( ROC( C, 1 ) ) );

Subject: [amibroker] Re: Replicating Studies
The issue of copying actual studies has been covered a few times from memory
Sid but I don't know where it stands.
I created a script for it because I got so sick of not only copying study
lines but re-copying them whenever you change one.
The following is a simple display of what I was referring to in my last
post.
Add this to any existing script that has a price plot.
Create a text file called levels.txt with a different level value on each
line and put it in the root Amibroker folder.
This code just loads that data into static vars when you click the Load
button, then displays them.
I use a similar one and find it the fastest way to display horizontal levels
across multiple charts. It has the natural advantage that you only have to
change a value once in the text file to have it updated across all charts.
showLevels = ParamToggle("Show Levels", "No|Yes");
filename = ParamStr("Filename", "levels.txt");
LoadTrigger = ParamTrigger("Load Levels", "Load Levels");
VarPrefix = "levels";
procedure loadLevels (){
fh = fopen(filename, "r");
if(fh) {
StaticVarRemove(VarPrefix + "*");
LevelCount = 0;
while(!feof(fh)){
Line = fgets(fh);
LevelCount++;
LevelValue = StrToNum(Line);
StaticVarSet(VarPrefix + LevelCount, LevelValue);
}
StaticVarSet(VarPrefix + "levelcount", LevelCount);
fclose(fh);
}
}
procedure displayLevels(){
LevelCount = StaticVarGet(VarPrefix + "levelcount");
if (!IsEmpty(LevelCount)){
for (i=1; i<=LevelCount; i++){
LevelValue = StaticVarGet(VarPrefix + i);
if (!IsEmpty(LevelValue)){
Plot(LevelValue, "", colorBlack, styleLine);
}
}
}
}
if(LoadTrigger){
LoadLevels();
}
if (showLevels){
displayLevels();
}
The levels.txt file would look something like this
4000
4005
4020
4035
etc

Jules.

would there be an easy way of replicating that study in the NQ contract
(i.e. across that same reaction low but in a different contract).
