Thanks to Mike, Mavirk, brian_z111, Howard B. and any others who helped with some info for a newbie to AmiBroker and programing like me.
I will deffinately get the book.  It does sem like AmiBroker can do most things anyone can dream of, I just hope I can learn enought to make use of the software.
 I do have one question on doing stuff with AmiBroker indicator programing.
 Am I correct in assumming that AmiBroker can do anything that can be done in
 EXCEL?
 The reason I ask is, I have seen something done in Excel that seems interesting and may be usefull in following and trading the markets that I had never seen before in any other software package charts.
 Just hope I can learn enought to get started on some of things I have been thinking about.
 
 Thanks again for the info,
 Lynn

Lynn,

Yes, what that person is doing can be done in AmiBroker (and as
answered by others, has in most cases already been done).

As a learning exercise, read through the description of each
AmiBroker function, listed alphabetically here:

http://www.amibroker.com/guide/afl/afl_index.php?m=1

or by category here:

http://www.amibroker.com/guide/afl/afl_index.php?m=2

At the end of each description is a list of library examples that use
that particular function. Follow the links to read through the sample
usages. Some of the examples are complex. Others are more
approachable. They will all give you an idea of what's involved in
writing AFL code.

The complete library can be found here:
