Re: [amibroker] JScript/VBScript Why?

["Joe Landry" <jelandry@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Adding a bit to Graham's note, I use jScript to "drive" Amibroker externally.  I also use Fred's tools called Batman for this purpose and it's written in a script language.  For example, I've used jScript to organize/classify stocks

in industry groups of my own making and then to rank them, or to develop composite arrays representing the internals of certain markets like NewHighs/NewLows Advance/Declines, MoneyFlow.  In one of my cases, the steps are 1) identify the tradable issues (Howard Bandy's example in his book) based on history, price and volatility,  2) classify them in 38 sub industry groups while calculating the internal market metrics, 3) calculate the group averages, and 4) run a ranking exploration on the subsectors.

There are plenty of other examples in the formula files - cleaning the database, exporting the watchlists, exporting the database, writing files.

 

Hope this helps

Joe L.

Sometimes certain things cannot be done with native AFL so the script is used.
Also some of the formula in the library could have been written before
the native AFL could do it.
