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

Hi,

A couple of things occur to me:

1.)  At one point the code defines "HChannel" as "False".  Later the
terminology used is "hChannel".  Should those be the same?

2.)  Also, the statement, "Filter=hChannel=True;" probably should read
"Filter=hChannel==True;".  I believe the current wording sets "Filter"
to "True" but it appears that you want to set the "Filter" to "True"
only when "hChannel" is "True".

Hope this helps.
