[amibroker] Re: Relational Operators assigned to variables?

Robert,

I don't believe that you can do the variable operator. However, it seems
like you would need to do an 'if' or 'iff' regardless. If you just want
to get the details out of your face, you can replace your variable
operator concept with function calls. You could even move the function
declarations to a separate file and just #include them.

e.g.

function myOp(something) {
   return iif(something, ref(open, -x) >= ref(close, -y), ref(open, -x) <
ref(close, -y);
}

giving:

BuyCondition = myOp(something) AND myOp2(something) ...

Or, to generalize further, pass the arguments too:

function myOp(something, arg1, arg2) {
   return iif(something, arg1 >= arg2, arg1 < arg2);
}

giving:

BuyCondition = myOp(something, ref(open, -x), ref(close, -y)) AND ...

I think it'll complicate the code and make it less extensible. To give
you an idea of what I'm attempting, I'm currently experimenting with the
WFA engine and running some dubious code, but the reason for this code
is NOT to write a strategy, it's to understand and get some experiential
feel for the WFA.
