Hi Herman: I am still learning and playing with D&D and so, I do not really yet have an appreciation for HOW one does what you have said below in red.  Can you say a few more words and/or offer me and others a simplified example of what you are talking about.

 

Thanks.

 

Ken

DT,

 

the D&D procedure promises to simplify my code significantly. I can use many ParamFields() to pass any number of arrays from (D&D) module to module.

 

I think D&D greatly helps "connect" and simplify cascading code segments. It will reduce naming complexities as we can develop code in modular form, i now pass arrays from one module to another with an invisible plot. In fact i am breaking up lengthy code into smaller modules which i can D&D to create my earlier complex single-code indicator - i am finding new opportunities because it is so easy to cascade indicators: new relationships are emerging. 

 

I also find the D&D a time saver as it lets me "play" with functions and indicators in a small fraction of the time it took me to do the same in code. The new procedure is experiencing some growing pains :-) and some users may have to learn some new concepts, but this is what gives the AmiBroker user "the technical edge" needed to do better than others. It will help us develop new trading methodologies - soon we'll have a very smooth code building machine.

 

Yes, users will have to have a basic appreciation of what they are doing in afl, but so is that the case with trade delays, loops, and a myriad of other techniques. There is a learning curve, but this is not any different as compared with any other TA platform, except that this one has a future :-)

 

best regards,

herman.

Thomas,
d&d is a big help but it is not magic, we should know some AFL basics
to make it work.
RSI() is applied to Close, you need RSIa() to get the RSI of an MACD
for example.
Zig() should be applied to positive arrays only a Zig over an MACD
would work via d&d BUT the result will be wrong [since MACD is
negative from time to time]
IMHO this is the only negative impact of the d&d, users should not
use it like a toy, a good AFL knowledge is required to make things
easier.
On the other side, when we d&d 2 or 3 indicators in the same pane,
take a look at the IB code : It is perfect, it is VERY WELL written
but it is not written by the user !!After the great result of the
magic "Apply" button, the user should study carefully the new code
and understand its structure. I do not thing it is easy, especially
because the magic result is already available in the new pane.
Just some thoughts on the new d&d feature, nothing more...
