Hi Peter,
I thank you very much for providing "Float Analysis" to the
group. It looks very interesting and HELPFUL.
I do NOT have Q+, therefore I'm headed for the Yahoo track.
I ran Setup, and had the program update the required files, when it quit,
I re-booted my computer.
I then DID re-connect to the web and rebooted AB.
In running the Float Analysis indicator, I see no indication that the
code is correct or "running", therefore I'd like to ask several
questions.
When the indicator is run in the APPLY mode from Indicator Builder, a
blank chart box appears -- no content nor Title, only the chart
limit lines (otherwise the chart area is blank) and stock ticker is
visible.
Question 1. I assume that after my reboot, that running the programs'
Setup.exe is NOT required to be run for the second time. (True or
False?)
Question 2. In eliminating the Q+ influences (because I'm trying to use
Yahoo), does the line:
EnableScript("jscript");
need also, to be "commented out" in order
for the Yahoo code to work properly?
Question 3. In the code for using Yahoo, I find a line of code comment
marked out, but no reason as to why. Might this need to be uncommented
for the Yahoo version to work?
Excess lines provided for ease in locating subject line.
//Find
Last Turnover
pDayone=myobject.begday(V,Float,dback,2);
//pDayone=myobject.begday(V,Float,Dayone);
<-----This line is commented out without reason.
pfHigh=myobject.floatvalue(H,1,pDayone,0,Dayone);
pfLow=myobject.floatvalue(L,0,pdayone,0,Dayone);
Graph1=IIf(x>(Dayone)
and
x<Lastday,fHigh,-1e10);
Question 4. Approximately how much time is required
for Q+ to deliver the float information when the indicator is working
normally? (a blink?, a second or so?, forever?)
Three of these four questions might have some bearing on why I cannot get
the code to perform as it should.
Yours' Demitris' or Thomasz' suggestions would be appreciated.
Regards,
Hal

At Steve Wood's Site (www.floatanalysis.com)
he states:
'The mainstream technical analysis community is only slowly realizing
the
power of these indicators and what they show. Although the Woods
cumulative
volume float indicators are basically very simple common sense
concepts,
they are not easy to program. At some point TradeStation and MetaStock
may
incoporate them into their basic package.'
Well this is a 'Eureka' moment for me. I have been able to
duplicate this
indicator. It was easy (easy for Tomasz and Dimitris) to use AFL
for this
indicator. And being a Quotes Plus subscriber the Float information
was
readily available.
But with the new version of AmiBroker and it's external programmability
(my
flavor is VB), I have been able to create the indicator AND the ability
to
get the necessary float information via Yahoo. So anyone who wants
to use
this indicator just needs an internet connection.
Attached is the AFL code, and the VB Project. I will post a setup
file to
the 'Files' section of yahoogroups.
Thank you Tomasz for such a powerful program.

PS Also attached is a GIF of GNSS. I was looking (looking being the
key
word) at the stock at the beginning of the month around 30. It is
now
around the 44 area.
