Dear UM,
What are you talking about ?
You are a programmer and you create a little monster to export data
into a *.txt or a *.csv file.
You should read first the users's guide, see what is readily
available and then contribute with your programming knowledge and
experience to solve what is NOT AVAILABLE for the present time for
the benefit of amibroker users.
You simply sacrifice the ultimate simplicity principle, in order to
answer ANY question through your sophisticated tool.
As for my codes, I did not see ANY question from you.
Many users asked a lot of things and they have had a prompt reply, no
matter if it was EXACTLY what they asked or it was a simple and
honest "I don't know".
If you don't understand my codes then you don't study AFL, because
ANYTHING I HAVE POSTED is nothing but AFL.
Sometimes my codes were not the shortest possible. The most creative
in this open forum is the criticism : Tomasz, Peter, Herman, Ken,
Bill (the Wavemechanic) to name a few criticised my methods/codes.
The result was always creative for the benefit of the average user.
We changed a lot of messages and, finally, we found the best way to
Rome, far from personal opinions. These dialogues often gave an
opportunity for new AFL requirements, which, thanks to Tomasz
sensitive ears, are now available to the average user at a VERY
REASONABLE COST.
As for this "...aimed mainly for programmers only...", can you PLEASE
be more specific ? Are you a programmer, do you have any studies or
titles or MSc or even PhD and what school provided such a certificate
to a person who writes 40 lines in order to EXPORT data to a
*csv/*txt file?[Do not hesitate, please, to give schools, names,
dates, e-mail addresses of your tutors, WE ARE IN THE SAME MARKET, WE
KNOW EACH OTHER FOR YEARS and I would like to communicate to your
teachers right now, they know Dimitris, they send a lot of mails to
Dimitris for general OR detailed questions, and have a nice talk
about the present and the future of the various programmers they gave
a PASS sometime ago, let us speak the language of the market, at
least once, dear !!!]
Your teachers should give you the No 1 scientific postulate : Accept
the criticism, whereever it comes, good will or not and try TO PROOVE
your position.
As for your "you even don't have tried yet", of course I haven't and
I will not try an unknown proprietary code to solve what
the "creator" thinks as unsolved [you are very far, my friend, to
judge what is unsolved or not for a very simple reason : You don't
even know AFL, one of the most powerful T/A languages I am so lucky
to meet].
It would be the most miserable moment of my life if I believe that
the only solution to all these AFL unsolved questions is your
experimental ABtool.
I am glad to follow the evolution of amibroker the last 2 years, I
think Tomasz is probably the best person to meet, he is always here,
there, everywhere, day and night, 24h on line and I am more than sure
he will give us, for many years, a great part of his genious spirit.
I will be happy, 10 years later, to say : I was there, feeling this
fresh air of ideas [the only comparison is before jumping with the
parachute, if you ever have this marvellous experience] and I added
my contribution to this great event.
Since many readers are interested for your work, you should be more
serious and, at least, accept that you reinvent the already existing
wheel.
BTW, I would be more than glad to answer ANY of your questions for my
AFL examples and, much more, I would accept your creative criticism
for any improvements/shorter expressions/better syntax or more
profitable trading ideas, if the programmers are also care for
trading their masterpieces.
Let's do a better start, I don't like this style of communication and
I will not continue it.
If it is OK for you, I may put my signature that you are the best,
your ABtool is unique, what would we do without you etc. Just prepare
the papers...
