Hi Drew --
Due to my fat fingers, the previous message was sent before it was finished.
Here are the steps:
1. Outside of AmiBroker, create a data file with the signals, and save it as a .csv file -- say
SIGNAL.CSV.
The dates should be in one of the formats that AmiBroker can import easily.
"yyyy-mm-dd" works.
The signal can be -1, 0 ,+1. Or you might want the signal to be 9, 10, 11 -- so all the values are positive.
2. Inside of AmiBroker, from the File menu, select Import ASCII.
Navigate to SIGNALS.CSV and import it.
It will show up in the list of symbols.
3. To use the signals in a backtest,
In an AmiBroker program:
sigs = Foreign("SIGNALS",C);
RestorePriceArrays();
Buy = sigs>=10.9;
Sell = sigs<=10.1;
Short = sigs<=9.1;
Cover = sigs>=9.9;
Plot(C,"C",colorblack,stylecandle);
Plot(sigs,"sigs",colorred,styleline|styleownscale);
Hope this helps,
Howard

Hello everyone,
I would like to import Date and Buy (1), Short(-1), and Neutral(0)
signals into AB, apply them to a symbol and run a backtest. I have
searched but can only find reference to AFL files that no longer exist.
Any help would as always be appreciated.
Best regards,
Drew Yallop
