Joe,
Thanks,
I just checked the Ft Monitor site, and I see Bill Barack’s Trading
Systems 101, but nothing on AmiBroker
Formula Language.
The
thing people appreciate about the MetaStock Formula
Primer, available here: http://www.equis.com/Customer/Resources/Formulas/Primer.aspx
,
is that it
focuses on the basic principles of the MetaStock language,
so it is pretty much unaffected by upgrades in the program. It’s a good
model for a Formula manual.
And you know I would hope that an AmiBroker
Formula Language manual would never become a best seller, because it would be
available free, as the MetaStock Formula Primer is.
The fact is, it’s a lot
easier to learn to program MetaStock than AmiBroker, just because of the existence of that
free manual.
AmiBroker needs something
similar, and a very efficient approach to writing it would be to just copy the
one that works.
Barry

Bill Barrack from the Ohio area has taught
Amibroker 101 at various venues. He's
an excellent teacher and would do a great
job on the manual. In fact his AB101 Camtasia videos that were
produced in 2004 are probably still
available at FTMonitor. I must caution that they were
produced before a major change in the
indicators, like drag and drop. (So there's this old
version bug a boo always
staring at you..how to keep the documentation and therefore the
The big question is - would it be worth his
while or anyone else's while to produce a manual?
If there was a chance of it becoming a best
seller then there would be a few folks dusting off
their eyeshades and keyboards to have a go
at it.

Somebody suggested that I write a manual for AB,
but if I could do
that, I wouldn't be asking for it. Here is
my suggestion for a
quick way to do it: take the MetaStock Formula
Primer, which is
widely regarded as being pretty good, replace all
the code with
AmiBroker code, add a chapter about arrays vs loops, and put it out
here for comments and fine-tuning. That
would take an AmiBroker
programmer 2 days, tops. As it would be offered
for free, copyright
issues with MetaStock don't apply. It would be the
best 2 days work
on AmiBroker
ever, because it would open AB up to many more people
who are having difficulty learning to program it,
and I know there
are many of us.
