I have a question on doing a script. I'm new at this??
Subtract the stocks high close of the today -the high close of yesterday to get the difference to plot.
Price Difference = ( today high close - yesterday high close)
Plot= The price difference
How do you write this in script???William Peters <williampeters@xxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote:

coding. I would change "latest dated bar" (above) to "most recent bar". I amalso not sure that the additional information about what AB is doingwhile it is executing the instruction is relevant. It is nice tohave, perhaps, but it also could be confusing, because I think somepeople might take the following logic after reading it: "Oh, it needsto retrieve data from earlier bars, so how the heck do I make surethat it can do that?"WP> When you set n=10, Amibroker will follow exactly theWP> same procedure that it did when you set n=1.

If your database is daily, itwill apply only to the most recent day. If your database usesanother time period (5-minute bars, for example), the analysis willapply only to the most recent 5-minute bar. Whatever the period oftime for the bars in your database, the number you specify as 'n'will tell AA to analyze that number of most
recent bars in youranalysis.If you set n=10 in the AA window, the analysis will first be done onthe 10th most recent bar, then the 9th most recent, etc., until themost recent bar (n=1) is done. So in this case, the analysis wouldbe done 10 times . . . for each issue that you are analyzing. If youanalyze 1000 issues, the analysis would be done 10,000 times.Tip:If the condition you are filtering for (the output you want to see)is likely to be frequently true, setting 'n' to a large number andincluding a large number of issues to be tested will likely produce avery large output. Realize that every bar for every issue where thecondition was true during the period of 'n' will be output. If youtest 1000 issues setting n=25, and the condition is likely to be truefor approximately every 5th bar (20 percent true), you can expect anoutput of approximately 5,000 lines (1000 x 25 x 20%).Practical
application:You have an EOD buy or sell signal that you want to test for eachnight: You create an exploration and run it each night, including allthe issues you want to test for, and setting n=1 to see if thatcondition was true for any of those issues on the most recent bar.You want to generate a list of daily prices for the past week to sendto a friend: You create an exploration that will output the pricedata, include all the issues you want the data for, and set n=5 (thisassumes a daily database). The output will be five lines for eachissue, the five most recent bars.======I'm sure somebody can improve upon this. But what I would key in onis keeping the basic explanation as clutter free as possible, thenincluding some kind of tip (might be a warning, too) and a practicalapplication.YukiSend BUG REPORTS to bugs@xxxxxxxxxxxxxSend SUGGESTIONS to
