Welcome and hope you find these files of use to you
This zip files includes the following:
RUTema3.afl 4/27/06 Dave Howarter- Attached is RutEma3.ini I converted to .afl. The first buy is a few days different than the .ini version, but I have found in the past that the Ema crossovers sometimes differ slightly causing that. What I see from these plots is that Mdd is acceptable only in the back left quadrant and there is only a small part of the front left quandrant that has good CAR that overlaps enough with the good Mdd area to give overall good results. I think this indicates the method has a high probability of failing in the future if the conditions that govern the best parameters change slightly. And the market has been known to change characteristics a bit in the past, so it might happen again

Fred Thomas-
let me pass on to you the single most important .afl coding structure that
helped me get through "the wall" I hit intitially learning AB. For using a
native symbol, one that is selected in the icon bar, different from designating
a specific symbol in the formula itself, this afl simply designates how you
create a screen, and further analyze it in AB. You'll see it is a template that
is oft repeated throughout most of the more sophisticated afl's. The structural
flow is what is important, and I have further labeled the process.
The drag and drop capability for charting is powerful, but the coding is
complicated and tends to hide from view the program's basic functions. I
recommend learning the basic functions first, then the complicated stuff will
make more sense.
I find this program a tough nut to crack, but patience and diligence are well
rewarded. Glass of wine and a close-by punching bag helps too.
Relative Strength- FT equivalent.afl 6/2/06 Bill Barnard- The attached produces FT-equivalent RS. I took it out of some of my other code, and it is not commented. I will leave it to you to study the code to understand how it works
Zoomit.zip
6/9/06
Fred Tonetti-
just save the .hta in your AB Directory.
You should be able to run it from Tools as well or from a desktop icon like
BatMan or IO.
Your choice ... FT may be natively better at some things ... But AB can be
manipulated, usually fairly easily, to do anything FT can do ... and then a
whole lot more--- added Curr YTD to ZoomIt ... I also added Last YTD
because I just know come Jan 3rd of some year someone is gonna say ... ya know
... it would be really nice if ... The bar is wide enough now that I'm sure
someone will want me to make it vertical instead of horizontal ...
Multiple RS Plots.afl 6/9/06 Ken Close- here is some generic code to plot multiple RS values on the same screen relative to an index. You input the index and the funds in the Parameters box. Note that the values plotted are NOT the same as the RS values you will see in a FT screen. The reason for this is because of normalization to the left edge of the screen.
FtTools.zip
6/10/06
Fred Tonetti-
Attached is FTTools.HTA and an icon for it in a zip ... The FT DOESN'T stand for
FastTrack ... I had the initials first. It can be used to run several of
the things I've published i.e. IO Tasks, BatMan, ZoomIt and BackTest Arrows
assuming one uses any of these ... It will show buttons for all of the above
related files one has in their AmiBroker Directory ... If you ain't got no, it
won't show no ... It can be run from the desktop, quick launch or AB /
TOOLs after adding a custom entry for it.
It too should be saved in ones AB directory.
Guppy01.afl & Guppy Oscillator.afl 6/26/06 Ken Close- Guppy MMAs and Oscillator: based on Irv's postings and some searching, I plotted up the MMAs (according to Irvs color coding not the standard Guppy colors), as well as a Oscillator from some Equis code I found in a search.
