Bill,
 
I would be more than happy if your post cover 
things that you were asked for.
Anthony asked you for the AFL formula: you 
answered: do it in Excel or Tradestation or Metastock
instead "I don't have an AFL 
formula".

Anthony:
 
If you can produce the calculation for the 
probability cones in Excel, why can't you plot it in Excel?  
I don't believe that AFL can plot the 
cones at the present time.  They are a standard routine in Metastockand 
I have seen them produced with other software (e.g., Tradestation) with 
programs written by users.  Unless you have one of these software 
packages, I suspect that your best bet is to use Excel.

Bill,Thank you for your link and response, yes I 
have done it in excel, but, My spreadsheets produce numbers only, Ido 
not produce the probability cone as shown at the link address.I 
am just getting familiar with AFL code, If you know how to produce the 
probability cone in AFL code as shown at the link address, please 
submit.Also, If you know how to produce the study / exploration 
as previously described, your help would be greatly 
appreciated.also, thank you for the link to the pattern 
software.best regardsAnthony--- In amibroker@xxxx,

which is summarized below?> "ODDS Probability Cones (which are 
greatly influenced by recent price volatility) provide you with a 
visual  guide to the most probable range of future prices. This 
range (i.e. the cone's width) is determined by recent volatility in 
prices, the number of time periods projected, and the probability 
percentage (e.g., 68% confidence, 90% confidence, etc.). The more 
volatile the security prices, the wider the expected range of future 
prices and hence the wider the cones. The cones always widen from the 
apex even if recent volatility is very low, because as time increases, 
the better the odds of a significant price move."  From <A
