[amibroker] Re: Elder's AutoEnvelope

One more correction to John's correction posted before:

// x=Input("use: Open=1, High=2, Low=3, Close=4, WClose=5",1,5,4);
x=Param("use: Open=1, High=2, Low=3, Close=4, WClose=5",4,1,5,1);

Now the resulting chart looks better. Here is the code with all corrections. I've changed the colours a bit so everything is clearly seen on a chart with both white or black background. Can someone compare it with MetaStock if nothing else is missing here:
