I am sometimes asked to write AFL code and create indicators within AB

What's the best way to code this scenario in AFL?
Two consecutive Highest Highs (consecutive in that one follows the
other -- not necessarily the day after) and then two consecutive
highest lows (again, not necessarily following the day after).

I purchased the Amibroker "regular" version a few months ago. I have

on using these two

easy manner. When I build a system, I like to put the script

I disagree -- use similar indicators to confirm a move. If you get
several showing the same thing, then you have a "strong" signal. Also,
no need to use volume (too innaccurate).

Yuki,
Your insight is very much appreciated!
I have had good success looking at volume, as well. I happen to be
lucky in that I have had better success with price-based indicators.
I still use volume screens though.
I use an OBV and MA of OBV to look for crossover signals. I used to
use the
Hi Ed,
Interesting point about the NYSE volume. Thanks!
I've been posting here and there about VSA (volume spread analysis),
Wyckoff and other related items, but for some reason no one is
jumping on these threads.
It's my understanding that VSA is powerful stuff, although
the "rules" for VSA
1) varBars = BarsSince(buy); // bars since buy
varPrice1 = IIf(varBars<2, C, Ref(C,-varbars)); // find buy price
varDirection = C>Ref(C,-varbars); // 1 if profitable trade
varProfit = IIf(varBars<2, 0, IIf(varDirection,C-varPrice1,varPrice1-
C));
varClose = varProfit; // close trade if profitable
I know that an EasyScan (screen) can be built quite easily in
TC2005, which will do the same thing. This can be used to create a
watchlist which is then imported into AB.
Thanks for sharing your fundamental screens, which emulate IBD's
ranking system.
