Re: Conversion Metastock in AFL

Richard (the grump) and Ken,

surf the net, all kinds of ms codes and formulas for systems and 
indicators, many many many more than whats in the AB files section. 
i've picked up many thoughts and ideas from this list and for me the 
AB learning curve is a slow but continious process.

ms codes are similar in many ways but also different in many ways 
from what i've seen.

how am i to convert a ms formula to to AFL if i don't know the ms 
language? not everyone is familiar with ms codeing.

i think it's a good idea to help someone in this regard, and i'd like 
to see these solutions added to the AFL library.

my 2 cents.
