Had problems sending to your website email suggestion box, so here it is.........
Suggested enhancements for Amibroker:
Add the ability to mark price sheets with a flag (pointer) within a GURU commentary as follows:
New Reserved Variables:
upflag - causes the drawing of an up pointing flag on a price chart
downflag - causes the drawing of a down pointing flag on a price chart
New Functions:
flagcolor(colorvalue) - sets the current flag draw color to value
flagfilled(true/false) - sets the flag to draw as filled or hollow
In the same way that buy/sell short/cover work, setting upflag or downflag places an up/down flag on the price chart
using the current color setting and fill setting. This will allow annotations of price charts with markers other
than buy/sell short/cover so one could mark points of interest in the chart (ex. RSI crosses 50, CMF crosses midpoint,
a stopped traded, etc.).
Using the color/fill settings you could show flags of any color/fill (ex. yellow solid flag for MACD crosses above zero
line, yellow hollow flag for MACD crosses below zero line).
Using these various flags, a chart can be marked at points denoting events other than buy/sell short/cover.
Possible extension to this:
Additional New Function:
flagshape(shapevalue) - sets the shape of the current flag to shapevalue (can be narrow arrow, wide arrow, standard
arrow, circle, square, triangle, diamond, X-cross, etc.)
It would seem the code that generates the current flag in the GURU can be reused to perform many of these new functions in Amibroker.
Love this program. Would also love to see a triple smooth exp moving avg, like the T3 for example (not the TRIX indicator). Someone suggested a 'data' pane that shows the numeric values of some selected indicators. That would be nice too.
