Re: AFL

Thanks alot Brett. Is the manual you are referring to the same as 
the AFL Function Reference(AFL 1.0-1.5) or is there a seperate manual 
that I dont know about? Another AFL question.....if I want to make 3 
condtional buy signals, do you or others know if I can setup 3 
conditional buy equations then have a buy signal only trigger if all 
three are met....such as 

establish cond1buy, cond2buy and cond3buy then write:

buy=cond1buy AND cond2buy AND cond3buy;

meaning that all conditions must be met before a buy signal is 
generated.......

Or is this syntax way out in left field? 

One last question. Is there any way to test formulas to see if they 
are giving the proper results? i.e. to see if the results are what 
one would expect?

Thanks again,

Larry
