Re: [amibroker] Adding AFL to toolbar button

[Dennis Brown <see3d@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Gordon,

Is there some reason that a ParamTrigger() button would not work for you?

That is the easiest interface.  Chart buttons are not quite as reliable if you have a slow AFL execution.

I believe Herman has attached code to chart buttons that is closer to what you want than what I have done.  I am assuming you are using IB?

Dennis

Hi Anthony, Herman, and Dennis,

 

Thank you for your excellent responses.

 

Anthony, I'm curious -- how did you accomplish what you attached in the jpg? I wasn't aware of that capability. Also, does the AFL code behind your button have the ability to access data for the current symbol? If not, I may need to go with chart buttons.

 

Dennis, what I'm trying to do is create an order button -- so having it handy is very important. When I see the conditions I want to see for an order, I need to calculate some limit values based on price and indicator values on the immediately prior bar -- the one that just finished painting. The order isn't part of an automated system -- there is some visual discretion. An order button that combined access to the current chart data plus the interface of the broker would be ideal.

 

Thanks again.

 

Regards,

 

Gordon

Attached shows 1 button....

Hi,

 

Is anyone aware of a way to attach AFL to a toolbar button in AB?

 

I'd prefer a new toolbar button, and am willing to use win32 coding if there's a way to do it.

 

Barring being able to do this, I seem to recall a post about using OLE automation to execute blocks of script on demand -- I believe it involved using commentary or notes -- I am going to search to for that and if I find what I think I'm looking for, I'll post the link in this thread.

 

Regards,

 

Gordon
