Anthony:
Say your "stored" file is called Average.afl
And it says
AV=EMA(C,25);
And you save it.
You next file can say simply
#include(C:/.........../average.afl
Buy=Cross(AV,25);
Sell=Cross(25,AV);
Instead of getting a "unknown variable" message in your main file
because it contains no variable declared "AV", it simply uses the
definition in the saved and included file.
Hope this helps.

Dingo,
I guess what I am trying to say is this....How does the rest of the
formula
interact with what is included in the #include function...
This is the Moving average that is stored elsewhere : as an example
Movingaverage=ma(c,28);

Sure but what you've got to provide me is the AFL formula that I'll put
into
the file:
"C:\Program Files\AmiBroker\IncludeFiles\movingaverage.afl"
All the include does is allow you to have some AFL code stored in a file
that become incorportated into the rest of the formula where the include
statement is. Think of that "included" AFL as invisible.
For instance - If I have the attached formula All Code In One File.afl
and I
decide that I don't need to keep seeing all of that code for the equity
calculations in my AA window every time - it just gets in the way - I
would
break the code into 2 pieces: Main Code In One File.afl and
EquityCalcsInSeparateFile.Afl.
The line #Include "C:\Program
Files\Amibroker\IncludeFiles\EquityCalcsInSeparateFile.Afl" will cause
AB to
include that code in my Main Code WHEN AB RUNS THE FORMULA. But I don't
ever see it in the AA window.
That's as good an explanation as I can muster.
Hope its enough!

Dingo,
Ok...Could you supply a sample output using this moving average and the
#include function.
I am still lost on how to use this #include function.
TIA
Anthony

Anthony,
WHen you use the include you never get to see the code in the AA window.
Amibroker reads it internally when it runs your formula. This is how
you
can save space in the AA window. The code that is "included" should
have
been thoroughly tested and error free.

Herman,
Thank you for that...That much I do know...but how do I read this
file....
example..How would I read this in The AA window on an explore.....Or in
the
Indicator Builder...
TIA

You create a directory in your AmiBroker directory that is called
"IncludeFiles", you copy all your include files to that directory. Then
to
read the include file code into your system you insert this line:
#include "C:\Program Files\AmiBroker\IncludeFiles\movingaverage.afl";

Herman, I have not worked with the #include pre-proccessor
yet...mainly I
do not
know how.... Say I have a file called Movingaverage....(
movingaverage=ma(c,28) ).....Now
I want to use this in some other formula....so I write the following:
#include "C:\Program Files\AmiBroker\AFL\movingaverage.afl" Now What
do I
do ?? Thank you Anthony -------Original Message------- From:

Hello, The #include does not enhance processing power or provide
additional functions. I substitute it with the full code after
development
or for performance testing. However it is extremely handy for: 1)
Making
code more readable during development by hiding a major part that
doesn't
require any more work. Working on a program of a few hundred lines and
scrolling back and forth, from begin to end, doesn't make for pleasant
working. Breaking it up into modules will speed up you work. 2) During
development, when working with loops, you can hide the entire body of
the
loop so that you can see the begin and the end of the loop and work on
the
code in those areas. For quick temporary hiding of code sections use a
standard name like Mod1, Mod2, etc. 3) I plot equity and other
indicators
from the backtester using the Equity button, i find this easier than
working
from two formula windows. Most indicators contain completed code so they
can
very conveniently be put into an #Include file, so as not to clutter up
the
systems code. Fred's equity code is a nice example that you might want
to
have in an Include file. 4) Some of my systems use many calibration
constants, a long line of 100 short statements messes up the code and
makes
it harder to work with. Placing the assignments in an include file hides
them nicely and makes it very easy to switch constants by commenting out
one
or another include 5) During development I use ,any AddCollumn
statements,
10, 20, even more. In a major project it is well worth to develop such
debugging tools and leave them in the code. Simply uncomment them when
you
need them... 6) Include files can be used to "attach" documentation to
a
program without cluttering the window and using up a lot of space.
Sometimes
it is handy to use the Indicator formula window (if not used) to keep
notes
in an Include file. 7) Scripts, if used, are pretty well stand-alone
pieces of code and it is nice to hide them from view. 8) If you use
pattern recognition and work with long lists of patterns or Candle stick
patterns, you can define those in an include file. 9) If you want to
translate Status("StockNum") to a literal string ("MSFT") and you work
the
N100, you'll need a 100 statements that mess up your code. Also since
this
type of code can be called from many other programs it is nice to have
it
self contained. 10) You can pass parameters to Include files (as
needed in
9 above) by reserving a suitable variable name for Include files ,or as
I
do, i give the include file a long name that tells me what it expects
and
what it returns. For example: N100Number-n-ToTicker-T.afl this files
expects
a pointer named "n" to be defined before using the #Include and returns
the
Ticker name-string in "T". I define n before the include and use the
string
T after it. Easy? 11) I know: I can't count! Some standard Param()
applications that are needed for debugging but not in the final version
- an
Include may be useful here. Yahoo! Groups Sponsor
