Ken
I don't know Metastock language, I find formulas in internet and I
don't know how to translate them into AFL language, because I don't
know how to write in this language. I use Amibroker and I copy in my
system the formulas that I find here or in Amibroke's home page, but
really I don't know how to write in AFL language. I did the example
in AA but it doesn't go.
Thanks
Peter
