So what part do you disagree with?
You used #include in the formula
that called it, right?
Without #include it won't work on
my machine.

System Tester Issues and how to fix. (for SR)
CS...sorry to disagree with you.... I created a
function...as Chuck stated ..in an empty IB window: function
myFunction(x1,x2,x3,x4) { return (x1 + x2 + x3 + x4) / 4; }
Saved this as myfunction.afl Then in an empty IB window I put
the following: #include "C:\Program
files\Amibroker\Afl\myFunction.afl" x = myFunction(Open, High, Low,
Close); Plot(X,"",colorRed,styleLine); It worked.....

v8 System Tester Issues and how to fix.(for SR) Please excuse me
for cutting in... I haven't been able to get Chuck's solution to
access a function within theseparate AFL directory either, until I used:
Saved within C:\Program files\Amibroker\Afl\myFunction.afl return
(x1 + x2 + x3 + x4) / 4; That's it. Just one line. No brackets.
Now, within Indicator Builder, my formula is: function myFunction(
x1, x2, x3, x4 ) { #include "C:\Program
files\Amibroker\Afl\myFunction.afl" } A2=myFunction( O, H, L, C );
Plot( A2,"function example", colorRed ); Hit APPLY and it should
work (with ver 4.36). I had to insert the #include instruction since it
doesn't appear that ABfunction commands will search the hard drive for the
saved afl file bysimply stating x = myFunction(Open, High, Low,
Close); AB will search for the called function within Indicator
Builder, but itdoesn't appear to out on the hard drive. -CS
