George,
Well, I know how you feel...which is why I answered your question first.
My first programming course was also in Fortran in the 60's. The
weirdest part about Amibroker programming, for those used to Fortran,
Basic, etc. is the Array processing. Simply said, each function is
processed ONCE for all bars and your code essentially never comes back
there again so you can't forward reference a value that hasn't been
computed yet. You can make AB look more like traditional programming if
necessary using Looping code. Remember that you need to use array
subscripts if you use looping.
Best way to learn is to get simple examples and learn to understand how
they work. Then work your way up to more complex stuff. The manual is
helpful, but often times it's VERY hard to track down the topic you
want. The Index section is the quickest way to a function explanation.
The search usually gets you there with some searching around since so
many results always come up.
Otherwise ask this group, after you have searched help.
Good luck!
Terry
