Tomasz,
thanks for your kind reply. I'll try to re-write
the formula in a more readable form and I'll send to you. If you will have a
spare moment, I will be happy, but if you have to spend too much time, never
mind, it's not a matter of life and death.
Thanks in advance and best regards,
Franco

Franco,
MS has its PREV because in MS you can not write loopsthat
iterate through quotes.
In AmiBroker you can - in VBScript or JScript or
DLL.
As for MS formula you quoted it is VERY, VERY unreadable and
if you want me to write
VBScript I need some description of what it should infact
do.
I don't have time to reverse-engineer MS wrestling with
PREV.
Best regards,Tomasz

Ken,
as I wrote in my first message, I don't have
forgotten what Tomasz said about PREV and AMA. They are not identical. AMA
is an adaptive moving average, PREV works with other functions
allowing them to refer to themselves.
About AMA, in fact its internal logic
makes inessential any function like PREV, but remains an adaptive moving
average, that's all. Metastock's CBL don't uses any average, it only refers
to hard values, and PREV have to do the same.
Best regards,
Franco

Tomasz will
jump in here sometime and say that the AMA or ___? other function in
Amibroker does exactly what PREV does in MS and does it faster. I do not
use it and so do not have it committed to memory. You could search
in the amibroker yahoo group for PREV or AMA or wait and perhaps Tomasz or
someone else will post a past message on this topic.

Hello,
yes, I know there isn't in AFL a function
equivalent to PREV. I tried to use a VB Script, but I'm not able
enough. Do you know if there is, somewhere on the WEB, the original
Guppy's formula?
Best regards,
Franco

hello,there is not prev function in
Amibrokerprev is a recursive function, BUT you can defind
it with a scripting languagemy choise was since one year was
C++but there is jscript and vbscriptabout the cbl, I think
the ms version is not matching the guppy principles but only an
adaptation .this is not the best trailing

propose the same question again, but I'd need to know if it's
possible to convert from Metastock language to AFL any formula
containing PREV function. Tomasz showed many times, in past, how
work AMA and AMA2 but, if I'm not wrong, this case seems different,
because in "Countback line" Metastock formula, PREV doesn't refer to
any averages but to hard values. Is it possible to translate the
following formula to AFL? LowDays := Input("Enter # days to cover
last LOW for CBL calc'n:", 3, 55, 13);
