Help is on the way -- if you can wait a few more months. I am in the process of writing "Introduction to AmiBroker" which will cover installation, use of the GUI features, programming afl, etc. If everything goes as planned, it will available early 2008.
Thanks, Howard www.quantitativetradingsystems.com

Correct. What's missing is a book from Que called
'Using AFL'. I'm
sure somewhere somehow there is somebody who will
write it ...
Don't say not enough AFL users. There still are
lot's of TradeStation,
MetaStock, Wealthlab etc. users how can read the
book and switch
to the wonderful world of AmiBroker
...

Ton,
Re: collating AB info (from your earlier post in this
topic).
Generally the search feature and UKB were aimed at improving
the accessibility of information.
IMO all of the big ticket items
are now in place. Tomasz has given us a lot to facilitate learning over the
last year or so.
If anything significant is missing from the suite
it would be an AFL programming book and a better way to mine the
information in this groups archive.
Personally, I am pretty happy
with the state of play at AB. Consequently I am hanging up my light
sabre.
Brian.

the free code you will find on the Internet is generously donated by
users. The problem is that most of these items are undocumented or are
documented inside the code. This is what make finding stuff so difficult.
It is easy to search for "PositionSize(" and get some hits but such
searches only answer syntax and basic usage questions. So, while users
generously donate code, their code is inefficiently distributed and rarely
used. In many cases you might as well drag your code into your Recycling
Bin. > > > > > Adding tutorial content

I speak from personal experience; when I came to TA from the electronics
field many of my ideas were sniggered at...some are now common place and
