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
"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.
