Hello Will,
As an example of how the UKB can work (no it is not a private club
for Herman and Brian and no we don't have all the answers - we need
some help!).
>'The indicator may be working with the particular confluence of
>market conditions we have had recently, but with the markets
>constantly changing which of the changes will affect the indicator?
>Most of us use multiple indicators, but recognizing when do you need

A subject like this could make a very interesting post.
It isn't necessary to be a trading guru, an AmiBroker guru or a
publishing guru to become an author.
Anyone who has a good understanding of any aspect of trading, or
AmiBroker, and can explain it clearly to others, can post an article.
Others can add comments for/against or take the subject further by
commenting or putting up their own post on the subject.
Theres nothing wrong with a contrary post either as long as we don't
get into slanging matches.
Brian.
