Re: [amibroker] How much faster is AFL than TS Easy Language?

["Tomasz Janeczko" <groups@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

That depends on the algorithm, number of bars and the coding,
but if you are using AmiBroker's array functions you should 
get speed up from 4x to 20x or more.

Here is one 3rd party test that used trivial MA crossover
http://www.addictfx.biz/article-622220.html
It was conducted with old version (4.71) that was significantly slower than current.

Such trivial cases may see smaller speed up (AB was 3.1 times faster),
but advantage should grow with complexity of the code,
provided that one codes his/her formula efficiently (meaning call functions
once and use variable whenever you need their value later).

Best regards,
Tomasz Janeczko
