I have posted so many questions to this
board that I feel that I owe you all an apology.
I think that a short explanation of my
experience level will be helpful to those brave souls who are willing to
graciously post answers to my seemingly endless questions.
BTW, I think that TJ deserves some sort
of Nobel Prize for this software that is providing me
with a very enjoyable
experience. Maybe they need to introduce
a new prize for Greatest Software.
I have an OK understanding of the
behavior of an individual stock. However, I am still in the dark
ages when it comes to
understanding how software, and computers work. What I am asking below may
be easy to do by using Textpad, and the formula.php file that Dingo placed in
the AFL library.
I am thoroughly enjoying running
the few SCANS that I have developed. This makes it even more difficult
for me to divert a lot of time to reading the incomprehensible (to me)
HELP files of Textpad. I did read some in Textpad's
HELP section, but I find it
very difficult to understand what it is saying. I don't even know if Textpad
is smart enough to pick up the scent of Dingo's formula.php, in order
to know to automatically go and fetch it. <FONT face=Arial

I have finally learned to create
a few SCANS that work. All of these SCANS have a lot of repetition in
the coding. In smaller type below, I have explained the purpose of
this post.
I <FONT face=Arial
color=#000000 size=2> want to test a very large number of
the AFL functions OBV(), RSIa(), PDI(), etc, in many different ways.
I have already tested a couple of these AFL functions
in an AA SCAN, that I designed. I now
want to test many more of these AFL functions using a lot of
different variations of the very repetitive AA SCAN that I
developed. I downloaded the formula.php file that Dingo
developed, and I also downloaded Textpad. Maybe this combination of
Textpad and formula.php will be able to do what I am wanting
to accomplish. Another thought I had is that perhaps the PARAM
function would be a way to do what I want to do. I only have a vague idea
of what can be accomplished with PARAM. My understanding of how
PARAM works is that you can right click on it, and it will present you with a
menu that allows you to choose other variables to apply to whatever it is
that the PARAM is programmed to do.
Finally, directly below, I used AA to
create an explanation of just exactly what it is that I want to
accomplish.
//This is an example of the kind of AFL coding
template that I would like to
have.
afl1=(my <FONT
face="Courier New" color=#ff00ff size=1>1<FONT face="Courier New"
size=1>st Choice); //this <FONT
face="Courier New" color=#008000 size=1>is the #1<FONT color=#008000
size=1> item to be
automatically inserted in the proper place below. It can be any AFL function, or
any combination of <FONT
face="Courier New" color=#008000 size=1>functions,<FONT color=#008000
size=1>identifiers<FONT face="Courier New" color=#008000
size=1>, and operators
Condbuy1= //this

color=#008000 size=1> requirement,
and<FONT

will be <FONT face="Courier New"
color=#008000 size=1>the 1st <FONT

many b<FONT
color=#008000 size=1>uy <FONT face="Courier New" color=#008000
size=1>requirements that have a lot of repeating groups within it.The line
directly below is an example of a repeating pattern.<FONT color=#008000
size=1>
Ref(afl1,-<FONT color=#ff00ff
size=1>1) <= <FONT color=#0000ff
size=1>Ref(afl1,-<FONT color=#ff00ff
size=1>2) AND <FONT
color=#0000ff size=1>Ref(afl1,-<FONT
color=#ff00ff size=1>2) <= <FONT
color=#0000ff size=1>Ref(afl1,-<FONT
color=#ff00ff size=1>3) AND
Ref<FONT color=#000000
size=1>(afl1,-3<FONT color=#000000
size=1>) <=....; <FONT color=#008000
size=1>//I deliberately
positioned
Condbuy1= by itself, immediately above the rest of
the repetitive coding. This makes it easier to make the many identical logical
operators line up in the same vertical column.<FONT
size=1>
afl2=(my 2<FONT
face="Courier New" size=1>nd Choice); <FONT face="Courier New"
color=#008000 size=1>// this is the #2 item to be automatically
inserted.........
Condbuy2=//this is the
2nd Buy Condition, and it will be the 2nd of many.......... <FONT
size=1>
Buy=Condbuy1 AND Condbuy2 AND Condbuy3 AND
.......;
// The same kind of system is used to produce the sell requirements
Sell=Condsell1 AND Condsell2 AND Condsell3
AND.....;
I am looking foreward to hearing from
anyone who understands what I want to do here. Ron
