Tomasz,
A sentence such as this could go a long way toward
demystifying the term algorithm.
"How could I write a scan for an upward sloping 170 period EMA?...
here
is the algorithm I want to
use..."
" (EMA 170) - (EMA 170 47 days ago) >
0 "
In other words, the term is
practically unnecessary. It is precisely what AB users have been creating in
Amibroker the last few years, and it already has a name; it is known as
AFL. The above is nothing more than a line of AFL code.
Beginners
do not need a big word to make themselves feel important. They know they are
important when they start to succeed in crafting their thoughts in AFL;
then observe the splendid and speedy handling procedure in the Amibroker
program; not the other way around.
Answer would be something like this, or whatever the accurate
representation actually is:
Col 9 = EMA(C,170) - Ref(EMA(C,170) - 47) =>
0; Plot (Col 9,
"AlGoreRythm ", 5, 4);
Just a plea for utmost simplicity in language as an aid in
understanding for the newcomer who may be overwhelmed by the
unfamiliar vocabulary of technical terms.
