Sebastian,

 

When you said “…when I created a custom indicator, I could refer to it and use it…”, are you referring to a coded function or a complete indicator (like an MA)?  

 

If the former, you can create functions and add them to an include file.  Then you would use “#Include” with the file name in a chart of scan/exploration.   For example, if you stored your functions in the file “ABFunctions.afl”, this is text you would add to the top of your chart AFL to refer to the indicator:

 

#include <ABFunctions.afl>

 

If to the latter, you can create an indicator, save it to an AFL text file and then add it to a chart.  Typically, these custom indicator files are saved to “…\Amibroker\Formulas\Custom\”.   They would then appear in the “Charts\Custom” list (“View à Charts”).

 

Regards,

 

Dan.

Subject: [amibroker] How to refer to a custom formula in a system test?

 

I created the index referred to in this post:

http://finance.groups.yahoo.com/group/amibroker/message/90273

...as a custom indicator so that I could refer to it in a system
test.  (AddtoComposite couldn't get me where I wanted to go.) In my
old Metastock software, when I created a custom indicator I could
simply refer to it and use it, but I haven't found a way to do this
with Amibroker.  I did a search on the Amibroker.com discussion boards
site and there have been inquiries about this, but with no answers.

Does this capability exist, or if not, is there a relatively easy
workaround?  TIA.
 

Luck to all,

Sebastian
