Graham,

Thank you for the detailed answer.
I'm starting to understand the synthax of AFL, much because of your 
assistance. Thanks.

If you won't mind, your post raises another question: you mentioned 
that PFC stands for closing prices and PFO is for "opening" prices 
(one box behind, up or down). My question is, what happens if the 
boxsize varies?  How does AmiBroker handles such a situation where 
the boxsize changes as a function of increasing (or decreasing) 
prices? Can I plot in AmiBroker a custom-PF array, which is based on 
a varying boxsize?

Thanks again for the updated PF code.

Short.
