Hi Louie88,

I couldnt agree with you more regarding the need for a book that would enable traders with zero to little programming skills to develop a foundation and grow from there.I would certainly be the very first customer

I can safely say that the majority of traders severely lack the programming skills to express their trading ideas, and/or testing them ADEQUATELY in a trading platform. My wish is that if someone in here or else where who is fluent in AFL to write a book about coding AFL in ENGLISH (please) with plenty of examples and lots of explanations. The examples illustrated the concept while the explanations drive home the points being made. I find out that the best learning technique is imitation. If I can follow what's being coded and replicated them on my own, I'll remember it longer. I'm sure that if somebody comes out w/ a book like that in any scripting language whether that is EasyLanguage of TradeStation or AFL of Amibroker, it would sell like hot cakes. In today's market, there is no such a book exists.
