Hello everyone.
This month is a big month for new AmiBroker products at CodeForTraders, and I'd like to let you know about the newest developments.
3 new products are available now, bringing our AB product line to a total of 5.
Two new AB Strategy Suites have been added, along with an innovative tool which offers a new level of convenience for users who wish to reload and examine or backtest individual optimization iterations.
I'm posting this one-off message primarily so that readers of this list can be aware of the newly available capabilities.
Anyone who has questions or comments, please send them to me directly ( progster@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ), or post to one of the AB Product topics in the CFT Forum.
Please DO NOT reply to this list. Thanks!

Optimization Iteration Reload for AmiBroker
LRS Strategy Suite for AmiBroker
ZigZag Strategy Suite for AmiBroker
Optimization Iteration Reload for AmiBroker
CodeForTraders is pleased to offer (we think!) a major enhancement for the AB platform - Optimization Iteration Reload for AmiBroker.
All of us here know that AB is the fastest, most flexible optimization platform available. The retail trader just can't generate large strategy optimization results sets quicker.
However, diving in for a close look at any one of the needles in the optimization output haystack can be a real chore, because of the requirement to manually re-enter all the parameters of an individual optimization iteration.
CFT's newest product, Optimization Iteration Reload for AmiBroker, offers the user a simple, quick process for selecting any individual optimization iteration's parameters for reload as the default values for a chart or backtest - with NO TRANSCRIPTION OR TYPING REQUIRED.
All the details can be found on the product page here:
http://www.codefortraders.com/AmiBroker/AB_OptIterReload_01.htm
including a video which demonstrates exactly how easy the entire process is.
If you are an AmiBroker user who's far enought along the road to have had the realization that your time is the primary limited resource that needs to be husbanded and allocated wisely, then you may want to take a serious look at Optimization Iteration Reload for AmiBroker!
Progster's LRS Strategy Suite for AmiBroker
Linear Regression Slope is an immediately understandable measure of the direction and speed of market motion. The role of fast moves, and the potentially tradable opportunities they create, is a subject appropriate for objective study by every trader.
The LRS Strategy Suite for AmiBroker is 3 AFL formulas which together implement a collection of analysis, visualization, presentation, and optimization techniques to create a complete solution for investigating LRS trading (or trading of any other indicator, after minor editing).
Not just a 3-liner for generating LRS trades, this code is an elaborate, carefully organized skeleton framework which provides:
Code for setup of cooperating indicator
Code for adding custom metric(s)
Code for AA window display of non-optimized parameters
Code for optimizer choice and setup
Code for single contract testing
Code for trading on the Open of the next bar after a Signal.
Code for technical analysis calculation(s) (LRS in this case!)
Code for trading long-only, short-only, or in both directions
Code for trading signals in the opposite direction
Code for a choice of trade signal filters
Code for limiting trading to an intraday time window
Code for optimizable indicator-based exits
Code for optimizable StopLoss, ProfitTarget, and TrailingStop
Code for determining and displaying exit reason
Code for histogram visualization of buy/sell/short/cover arrays.
Code for passing NetPft to cooperating display indicator in another chart pane.
Code for Displaying signals as an Exploration
Code for on-chart plotting of price, signal arrows, and trade duration/direction bar coloring
Code for creating and displaying informative title text
Code for display of filters
The point is not merely to analyze LRS trading (though it does a fine job of that), but to provide a wide-ranging AFL demonstration/tutorial of implementing a host of capabilities which work together to give flexible control, superior reporting, and visual confirmation/insight into the signals and trades generated.
The LRS Strategy Suite is similar to our existing products, the RSI and CCI Strategy Suites in its implementation of a 4-line model of indicator-based trading.
Progster's ZigZag Strategy Suite for AmiBroker
The market Zigs and Zags, and this is a perennial source of fascination for traders. Does movement predict more movement? Should movement be faded? These are fundamental questions of tendency for any market and timeframe which can only be answered by testing.
The ZigZag Strategy Suite for AmiBroker is 2 AFL formulas which together implement a collection of analysis, visualization, presentation, and optimization techniques to create a complete solution for investigating trading or fading the ZigZags.
All the details can be found on the product page here:
http://www.codefortraders.com/AmiBroker/AB_ZZ_Suite.htm
Like the LRS Strategy Suite, the ZigZag Strategy Suite is an elaborate, carefully organized skeleton framework which provides a wealth of useful capabilities which are both ready-to-use and repurposable for future work.
Unlike the RSI, CCI, or LRS Strategy Suites, the ZigZag Strategy Suite does not implement the 4-line model of indicator-based trading, but instead signals with or against ZigZags.
All your questions about trading or fading ZigZags can now be answered at AmiBroker speed!
All 4 of CFT's Strategy Suites for AmiBroker (RSI, CCI, LRS, ZZ) have been specially designed to allow wide-scope or narrow-scope optimization to be configured directly from the AB Parameters Dialog. This means optimization across any desired combination of the major numeric dimensions based strictly on Dialog settings without requiring code edits. Once you experience this new flexibility, you will not want to go back!
Also, custom metrics are used to ensure that non-optimized (i.e. locked-down) major dimensions are displayed in the AmiBroker Automatic Analysis window optimization results. This ensures that the report more thoroughly reflects the configuration of parameters used to generate it (which is not normally true by default).
Please view the videos on the RSI Indicator Suite product page to see this capability in action.
The new products (and the older ones) are all accessible from CFT's AB Product Catalog page:
