Ron,
If you are doing that now then
you are conceptually doing everything that the Filter function is doing in an
exploration.
Q. <SPAN
class=046553503-02082003>What do you think the filter function will
do that the addition of criteria to your Buy/Sell statement won't do
?
I haven't tested this
but it should work....just add all your criteria to the first Filter
variable.

FILTER IN SCANS
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
