Hello,

As a beginner, I can say that nothing is missing, but it's very
difficult to find a simple answer to a simple question.


I spend thousands hours to read archives, UKB, library, AB list forum,
other forums. It's difficult to retrieve things at the right moment.


Could I suggest to open a UKB dedicated to basics programming examples
ONLY, where advanced users and beginners could add practical code for
a simple problem or a pedagogical detailled answer.

Anybody could add a tested code piece and the comments will follow as
in the UKB library. The AFL code's pieces should be in the spirit of
an Excel subroutine or to get a simple result immediatly without
special knowledge.


A BASICS AFL UKB  with such examples :

To measure the distance between price and Simple Moving average and
plot the result as a histogram

plot(C, "C", colorblack);
myMA = MA(C,13);
plot(myMA, "MA", colorblue);
plot(C - myMA, "Distance", colorgreen, styleHistogram | styleownscale);

Barry

The title will be : To measure the distance...

And this template is under the heading PLOT 


Another example  of entries :

Array : understanding the basics

When I was first learning AFL, I did not quite understand how the
Arrays worked in the grand scheme of an AFL update pass. The key
concept I was missing was that everything started over from nothing
for each update of the charts. Later I learned that I could only keep
information around between AFL passes with static variables or files.
While I was talking offline with another AFL user, I found that he
also stumbled over this exact problem.

Without this basic understanding, I made no real progress. I was just
floundering.

Dennis

The title will be : Array : understanding the basics

And this texte is under the heading ARRAY


A third example to put into heading TRENDLINE OR LINE

Q:

title of the item : draw a line automatically

draw a line automatically on my chart - the line would be at the last
close price, minus 1,2 and 3 ATR(20)'s?.

Ideally the line would go from left to right across all the scren,
whatever the timescale being viewd?

A :
You need to use linearray function to draw a line.

Find first visible bar using:
bi = BarIndex();
Firstbar = status("FirstVisibleBar") - bi[0];
Line = linearray(FirstBar,ATR_value,Barcount-1,ATR_Value,0,0);
Plot(Line, .... )

Check help file for details

Another entrie should be GLOSSARY to explain such or such feature...

If possible, keep the name of the author.

Best Regards
