What do you mean by this?
>>But it does have a major flaw vs other software
products. AFL code has NO ACCESS to your ACTUAL trade stats
(entryprice, bars in trade etc). <<
Scan and backtest gives you all of this
or
you can simply write an exploration to provide all that data and more
or maybe I missed your point!
buy=yourbuyconditions;
sell=yoursellconditions;
buy=exrem(buy,sell);
sell=exrem(sell,buy);
filter=1;
addcolumn(barssince(buy),"BarsInTrade",1);
addcolumn(valuewhen(buy,buyprice),"BuyPrice",1.3);
adddcolumn(c/valuewhen(buy,buyprice),"TradeMove",1.3);
etc
