[amibroker] I want FILTER IN SCANS



PureBytes Links

Trading Reference Links




William, I do that now, but I would rathar do that 
with a filter.  Do you know of any good software reason why TJ does not 
make 
Filter=xxxxx      
available for use in scans.   To me, it is an obviously useful feature 
for us newer tech challenged Ab users to be able to use in scans.  Many of 
us can do basic AFL coding, but are a long way off from ever doing 
sophiscated backtesting, so being able to 
have Filter capability in scans would be very handy.   Ron

  Ron,
   
  You can do the equivelent 
  with a scan.
   
  Add the criteria you would 
  normally add to the 'Filter' to the end of your Buy or Sell 
  rules.
   
  ie. Buy 
  = Cross( 
  MACD( <FONT 
  color=#ff00ff size=1>12, <FONT color=#ff00ff 
  size=1>26 ), <FONT color=#0000ff 
  size=1>Signal( <FONT color=#ff00ff 
  size=1>12, <FONT color=#ff00ff 
  size=1>26, 9<FONT 
  size=1> )) AND ( <FONT color=#0000ff 
  size=1>MarketID(<FONT color=#ff00ff 
  size=1>1) == <FONT color=#ff00ff 
  size=1>"ASX" );
  <FONT 
  size=2>

  William, is there a good software reason why TJ 
  has not made the filter function available for use in scans? I would 
  really like to be able to add 
                 
  Filter= xxxxxxx          in my 
  scans.    Ron D

    Ron,
     
    It was just my wrong choice 
    of words in my reply to Dominic. If you go through the whole tutorial you 
    will notice in step 1 that the setting (Analysis Type) for explore is 
    selected.

    According to the AB users manual, filter can be 
    used only in EXPLORATIONS.  Why does the user's manual say this if 
    it is not true?  I once tried to use  FILTER=ma(v,50) >= 
    2000000; in a SCAN  and it did not 
    work.    This post from William indicates that 
    FILTER does work in SCAN mode .  Ron D
     
     
     
    
    <TABLE cellSpacing=0 borderColorDark=#990000 cellPadding=3 width="100%" 
    borderColorLight=#990000 border=1>
      
      
        filter
        Exploration only: controls which stocks/quotes are 
          accepted. If "true" (or 1) is assigned to that variable for given 
          stock/quote it will be displayed in the report. 
          So, for example, the following formula will accept all stocks with 
          closing prices greater than 50 :
          
            filter = close > 50;

      Dominick,To exclude a ticker from the scan you 
      can add like this to your filter ( replace <FONT 
      color=#ff00ff>^AORD with your ticker symbol 
      ):Name() != <FONT 
      color=#ff00ff>"^AORD";So the FIlter statement becomes 
      something like this: Filter = Cross( 
      MA( Close, 30 
      ), MA( Close, <FONT 
      color=#ff00ff>50 ) ) AND 
      Name() != <FONT 
      color=#ff00ff>"^AORD";
       
      For the second part of your question if you open 
      AmiBroker Indicator Builder (IB) and go to thelast section in the 
      tutorial you will notice there are some additional parameters 
      to
      enter:
       
      Scaling: 
      AutomaticGrid lines (Ticked): Limits | Show 
      Dates | Middle
       
      Once you tick these parameters the information  in 
      the x and y grid will display.
       
      Thank you for your feedback.

      William Peters

      for beginners.Hi William:Thanks for the 
      tutorial.  One thing I would like to know is how toexclude 
      indices.  For ex. QuotePLus uses an "!" mark before 
      them. Also I typed one of the symbols to bring up the chart 
      and applied thecrossover indicator.  It placed another window of 
      candlestick barswith both of the MA's as stated.I closed the 
      original candlestick and volume windows to make yourwindow 
      larger.  I noticed there were nothing in the X and Y axis or 
      grids.Was it purposely made that way for the 
      tutorial?TIA,DominickSend BUG
