Its a great concept, but I
can see what you mean. The only way that I can see around this would be for you
to edit and correct each entry, ultimately you are responsible for
this particular area and I know this is a big ask. I fully agree that each of
the additions would need to be fully vetted but as you say how to do!
The idea of having it ALL in
one easy to get at area is the way to go, having another document floating
around would not be as effective.
I'll keep thinking about it too
and maybe some others have some suggestions.

Re: FILTER questions.
William,
This idea was already implemented in AFL on-line function
reference
<A
href="">http://www.amibroker.com/guide/afl/
(See "Comments" section for example:
<A
href="">http://www.amibroker.com/guide/afl/afl_view.php?name=EQUITY
)
For some months there was a "Add comment" edit field and
button that allowed
to add comments. Unfortunatelly some people starting to ask
questions that way
thinking that this is a user forum, while the intention was to
allow people to
expand existing docs.
Asking questions there was a problem because:
- there was no notification mechanism so I was not aware
if/when question was asked
- sometimes various people answered with invalid answers and
this has created confusion
(there is nothing worse than misleading docs)
When I have been reviewing the database of entries I had to
delete some misleading
comments because this database is used to create AFL funciton
reference in actual guide
and information has to be correct. After fixing many entries
manually I decided to turn this feature OFF.
Now I am wondering how to turn this ON again
but in
a 'safe' way so comments submissions are correct.
Best regards,Tomasz Janeczkoamibroker.com

Subject: [amibroker] Re: FILTER
questions.
I think Yuki's idea is a
wonderful idea. This is a perfect opportunity for AFL beginners to learn by
DOING, as Ron said just having to get it all down in a readable fashion is an
effort that will pay dividends.
I'm wondering whether all
these descriptions could be added to the AmiBroker help file (after
the appropriate editing and corrections). Another possibility would
be for Tomasz to add them to the mySQL database with a HTML link in the
AmiBroker Help file, that way it wouldn't blow out the size of the Help file
and any changes/additions would be dynamic. So if an enquirer clicked on the
relevant <A
href=""
target=_blank>See updated/extended version on-line. link they would
get all additions and changes.

Yuki said>><FONT
face="Times New Roman">A specific example of practical usage should be given
for AFLfunctions in the reference, I think. These examples should
bewritten in NON-PROGRAMMING prose. ^_^ They should be the
antithesisof Linux MAN pages. They should take little grasshoppers
like me andlead them to discovering practical usages for the
function.I would be willing to help anyone that would like to work on
thistype of project. I'm afraid, though, that my contribution would
belimited to cleaning up the wording, and making it clear. And
also,if I can understand it, it's probably a great filter for 'ready'
or'not ready'.Yuki
<FONT
face="Times New Roman">==============================================
I am willing to contribute to Yuki's
request for volunteers to write non-techie descriptions of how
Amibroker works. Below, I have written a non-techie answer to a post by
Glen which asked about the setting n=1 in AA.
Anthony's answer is obviously correct, but
I am rewriting it here in the kind of very thorough and
non-tech manner that Yuki and I would like to be able to read
in the users manual. Such non-tech descriptions as Yuki
suggests will be of enormous help other non-tech newbys and users.
Amibroker users will need to suggest changes to this
description if it is not totally accurate. Also, please suggest changes
if you have idea's of how to make this
description clearer. <FONT
face="Times New Roman"> The
description is directly below.
<FONT face=Arial
size=2>=======================================================================
When you set n=1, AA
will check only the latest dated bar in your database in order to
see if your AFL conditions has been met on only the latest dated
bar. However, while Amibroker is executing your particular AFL
instructions, it still needs to retrieve data from earlier
dated bars in order to produce things such as moving average
calculations, and other calculations that will be required by
your AFL coding.<FONT
face="Times New Roman">
When you set n=10, Amibroker
will follow exactly the same procedure that it did when
you set n=1. The only difference is , Amibroker will first check
the bar that is positioned 10 periods back from the present bar. A
period will be in seconds, minutes, hours, days, months, or whatever
you happen to have available in your database for Amibroker to
check. Once Amibroker is through checking the 10'th bar back, it
moves forward to check the 9'th bar, then on to the 8'th
bar, and so on, till it finally checks the n=1 bar
last.
<FONT face=Arial
size=2>====================================================================
I am willing to do write more
of these descriptions in order to help newby's and us non-techies gain
a better understanding of how Amibroker works. I am
not technically capable, nor do I have the time, to contribute
anything beyond the writing of a few of these
descriptions.
I will wait and see if Yuki, or anyone else is interested in
taking this further. Ron D
