RE: [amibroker] Greetings and a question.

Hi Conrad
What you are asking is really covered in the tutorial on AFL language, and
throughout all the help files

"If" (single i ) is used when using script type language and is built in to
AFL without the need to invoke the script language, 
But I think you are needing the IIF statement, examples are in the AFL help
files
You need to assign a variable to the function and join all the conditions
together as below

Xyz = iif( L<ref(L,-3) and L<ref(L,-2 and .....etc , 1,0);
PlotShapes(xyz*shapeHollowCircle, colorBlue, 0, Graph0, -12 ); 


Cheers,
Graham

I'm new to both your group and Amibroker, so greetings.

I have a bit of a problem writing a guru commentary.

The code:

if (Ref(L, +3) > L) 
  if (Ref(L, +2) > L)
    if (Ref(L, +1) > L)
      if (Ref(L, -1) > L)
        if (Ref(L, -2) > L)
          if (Ref(L, -3) > L)
     	     PlotShapes(shapeHollowCircle, colorBlue, 0, Graph0, -12 ); 


The error:

Error in AFL formula:
Line 1, Column 12:
if (Ref(L, +
----------^

Error 23.
Syntax error


I'm sure the it a true n00b question, but I can't seem to find the answer.
I'm almost of a mind to believe that I can't use logic where a parameter is
expected.

I truly hope not, I rather like Amibroker.


Cheers,
Conrad
