Hello,
Don't worry - over many years I have proved that I am capable
of extending
program into many different directions at once.
There were significant features added in every area even
this year, to name a few:
1. advanced users / programmers got new control flow
statements: continue, break, switch/case and gfx low-level
functions
2. discretionary traders got cleaner charts (no thick divider
lines between panes), improved real-time quote window
3. beginners got AFL code wizard
So as you can see your worries have no reason - AmiBroker
progresses quickly in many directions at once.
Also the wizard should actually decrease number of support
questions that we are getting. Why? Simply because there will be no basic
questions like: I need a code that geberates a buy when
volume is higher than its average from last 15
days.
The wizard is also great *learning* tool.
If you take a look, you will see that each statement that you
build using natural language
is accompanied with
"AFL code equivalent" updated in real-time as you click
parts.
What's more the code part responsible for selected part of the
sentence is marked with BOLD.
So beginner exactly knows that "5 bars ago" is coded with
Ref.
This may not be obvious even for computer programmer coming
from C language who is just starting with AFL.
But now the learning process is turbo-charged with the help of
the wizard.
I think that you underestimate the role of the wizard in the
learning process even for semi-advanced people.
Best regards, Tomasz
