[amibroker] Getting Some Signals Into AB for plotting



PureBytes Links

I have an excel file of some signals that I want to get into AB for
plotting and comparisons to AB code generated signals.

I have data in this format:

9/26/1990	Short
11/2/1990	Cover
11/2/1990	Buy
1/31/1991	Sell
2/11/1991	Buy
6/21/1991	Sell
6/21/1991	Short
7/16/1991	Cover
7/16/1991	Buy
11/25/1991	Sell
11/25/1991	Short

Some fancy Excel footwork on my part allowed me to introduce statements
like this:

Sshort=IIF(DateNum()==900926,1,0);
Scover=IIF(DateNum()==901102,1,0);
Sbuy=IIF(DateNum()==901102,1,0);
Ssell=IIF(DateNum()==910131,1,0);
Sbuy=IIF(DateNum()==910211,1,0);
Ssell=IIF(DateNum()==910621,1,0);
Sshort=IIF(DateNum()==910621,1,0);
Scover=IIF(DateNum()==910716,1,0);
Sbuy=IIF(DateNum()==910716,1,0);
Ssell=IIF(DateNum()==911125,1,0);
Sshort=IIF(DateNum()==911125,1,0);

I had to get this far to realize that the last Sshort statement would
replace the Sshort array from previous statements, in other words, I am
able to plot only the LAST signal for each array.

I do not think I want to create a statement in Excel for something like

Sshort=IIF(DateNum()==900926 OR DateNum()==910621 OR ..... etc.  It
seems like I would have to hand type in all dates.  Yuk!

Can someone suggest how I would go about getting the data shown at the
top into four arrays that can have the points highlighted with
PlotShapes statements?  I am stuck.

Thanks for any help,

Ken
