I can remember when I started using Amibroker. I had almost no experience writing computer programming except some basic and fortran 30 years ago using punch cards. Fortunately for me I was familiar with using computers
Starting with any new software can be daunting and confusing unless you are a computer wizz kid. I found it difficult with even the simple stuff until I got the hang of how the logic of the programme worked. The help files are good once you get the hang of what the programme terminology means. There is enough lingo used in it to make it hard to understand, until as I said before you get the basic understanding of the programme.
So patience is necessary with new starters, but they too will soon be helping others

While there certainly are those that do not appear
to do their homework before asking a question on this forum, please don't assume
that everybody is trying to take the easy way out when asking a question.
Some folks just naturally pick up on things faster than others do. To the
nonprogrammer, the manual can appear a bit confusing and/or overwhelming.
What's easy for some is not necessarily easy for all. This forum is a
resource that should be available to anybody with a question, without fear of
being belittled for doing so. If a question appears "to easy" for a
response, than igonore it If someone is willing to help out, and there are
many of those folks on this forum (a big thanks to all of you), than they'll
take care of it. I realize it may clutter up the forum, but the bottom
line is unless you have a way of weeding out the phonies from those with
legitimate request for help, than you have to take the good with the bad.
It never hurts to help somebody.

Subject: [amibroker] Re: Graham is
great
Fair enough re more complicated things, . . . but running a
scan/exploration on only 1 WL (via AA->apply to)? Come on, this IS
clearly described in the manual, and is something one should not have
to ask here IFF you read the manual.
And for all clarity: I was
also a non-programmer newcomer once. But
at least I spend time going
through the manual to get the basics,
something a growing number of
newbies don't seem to bother with.
Again: compliments to all experts
out there who are more tolerant
than I am.
