Thanks for all of your responses.  William, 
thanks for this idea, I  happened to think of doing this just 
as yoiur  email arrived.   I am already using the technique 
you are showing here to easily change the indicator that I am scanning 
with.  Thanks.  Ron D

  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.

  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<FONT 
  face="Times New Roman" size=3> have Filter capability in scans would be very 
  handy.   Ron D

    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, <FONT color=#ff00ff 
    size=1>9 )) AND ( <FONT 
    color=#0000ff size=1>MarketID(<FONT color=#ff00ff 
    size=1>1) == <FONT color=#ff00ff 
    size=1>"ASX" );

      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

          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 = <FONT 
        color=#0000ff>Cross( MA( Close, 
        30 ), MA( 
        Close, 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:
         
        <FONT 
        color=#ff0000>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.

        Tutorials 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
