[amibroker] Re: Modified Dave Landry Scan

Trading Reference Links

The simple scan looks for recent (not today) 20 day high/lows and this
scan
has a minimum price criteria of $15 and a minimum 50-day average
volume
criteria of 100k. Below is the code written as a Personal Criteria
Formule
in TC2000's language. It's pretty strait forward, H=
High...L=Low...MAXH=Maxhigh...MINL=MINLow...

Example, I tried to duplicate this TC2005 formula...
(L1 < MINL20.2 AND L > L1)
This means:  Yesterday's Low is Less Than the Low of the past 20 days
as of
2 days ago AND Today's Low is Less Than Yesterday's Low.
L1= Yesterday's Low
MINL20.2= the Lowest Low of the past 20 days as of 2 days ago
L= totday's Low
L1=Yesterday's Low

with this AFL formula...
Ref(L,-1)<LLV(L,20)-2 AND L>Ref(L,-1) ;

Please help...
