Have a look over the past few days as this was discussed. I believe yaho0o
is all or nothing. Attachments can be placed on the AB site forum.

AB?

I wonder if TJ could turn on the attachments, but limit it to graphic files
(png, jpy, gif).  I don't know if  its possible with Yahoo forums to limit
attachments to specific extensions.  This would eliminate most virus files
with exe or zip extensions.  And even if those extensions were changed to
those of graphic files (in order to deceive), they wouldn't get activated.

  Sorry, TJ has turned off the attachments because of the continual viruses
  being sent to the group

  Graham, I agree with your comment.  It's just, Renkos looks so beautiful
in
  AB :-)  (see attached chart).  Unfortunately, the data (OHLC) from the
feed
  is already in Renko format, which is then displayed with a regular Plot(C)
  statement.

    The main things about Renko charts is that it takes time and loads of
    thinking to get the logic correct to display a good chart. It is easy
  enough
    to create a P&F chart, but Renko, and even the fixed range chart,
contain
    further logic loops to fill in any price gaps with additional stepped
  bars.
    Then after that if the step size is not sufficiently large then you will
  not
    have enough space on the X-axis to show the complete chart. Producing
  things
    like this is not necessarily easy unless you happen to have an excellent
    grasp of computer programming and that excludes me. It requires either
    someone who wants the chart in the first place or who wants the
challenge
  of
    creating it.

    I've inquired before here about Renko charts for AB, but didn't get a
    response.  I've not been successful in programming Renkos in afl (though
  my
    skills are limited).  I've come across some Metastock code (see below),
    which may or may not work.  Maybe somebody can take a stab at it in afl.
  It
    would be greatly appreciated.

    vars:Brick(0) ,DN(0), UP(0), BricksUp(0), BricksDn(0);

    If BarNumber = 1 Then Begin
    Up = H;
    Dn = L;
    Brick = K*(H - L);
    End;
    If BarNumber > 1 then begin
    If C > UP + Brick Then begin
    BricksUp = IFF(Brick = 0, 0, Floor((C - Up)/Brick)*Brick);
    UP = Up + BricksUp;
    DN = Up - Brick;
    BricksDn = 0;
    End;
    If C < Dn - Brick Then begin
    BricksDn = IFF(Brick = 0, 0, Floor((Dn - C)/Brick)*Brick);
    Dn = Dn - BricksDn;
    Up = Dn + Brick;
    BricksUp = 0;

      I have not come across the constant range bars before, so I will have
a
    look
      and see if it is relatively easy to put together.
      Renko would be similar in construction to P&F with modifications of
  course

      I want to have constant range bars like are described below:  does 
      anyone know how to do it?  eSignal and ensignsoftware charts can do 
      it but I want to do it in Amibroker.  Also, eSignal can do renko 
      bars, does anyone know how to do that in AB?

      Thanks

      Two articles in the Stocks, Futures & Options magazine 
      (www.sfomag.com) introduced a new charting concept.  The first 
      article was 'Paradigm Shift Lights the Way to Momentum Bars' by 
      Desmond MacRae, SFO Feb 2003.  The follow-up article was 'Momentum 
      Bars: The Sequel ...' by Desmond MacRae, SFO Apr 2003.  These 
      articles describe a charting concept developed by Danton Long called 
      Momentum Bars.

      Momentum Bars are basically constant range bars.  The bars look like 
      standard chart bars with an open, high, low, close and volume.   The 
      high-low range of each bar is constant.  A new bar does not start 
      until a price tick is received that would exceed the fixed range of 
      the current bar.   Momentum Bar charts have the following 
      characteristics: 

      Each bar is the same height because the range is constant. 
      The close of a bar is always at the high or low of the bar. 
      The open of a bar is always one tick below or above the close of the 
      preceding bar. 
      The time period covered by each bar varies. 
      All gaps are filled with inserted 'phantom' bars.
