[amibroker] Re: Finding trading range/horizontal channel, can it be done like this?

Hi,

I believe that you have included one too many arguments for "HHV". 
Are you trying to use "Ref" with "HHV"?  You can use the following
simple code to see if this helps:

HHB=Ref(HHV(C,10),-10);
AddColumn(C,"Close",1.2);
AddColumn(Htest,"Htest",1.2);
Filter=1;

I don't know if this will get you where you are trying to go or not
but the syntax does appear to be a problem.  Others who are much more
familiar with AFL will, no doubt, be able to provide more insight.

I would also check the AFL library as I seem to recall seeing some
examples that address channels.  TJ has some code there that deals
with troughs and peaks, which is somewhat related to your subject.  He
has some excellent commentary included in the listing that you might
find interesting and helpful:
