.Not sure what you are doing but working fine here
Could you please tell me what your settings for base time interval? And I got the new amibroker and it's still not working.

My cousin told me that our base time interval is set to the lowest available one of the data source.
Anyway just open your quote editor in AB and look what is the time frame there imported from the data source. What happens if you set to 1 minute TF in tool bar?
And I got the new amibroker.
Your picture in #11 does not show the newest one because the sheet selector of the selected sheet doesn't show the same color as the background color. Small details. So it seems you use a version lower than 5.60 (looks like 5.50 to me if looking at the axes). T.J. releasing 5.80 final soon this month (my guess). So far away from newest one. Definitely not downloaded from AB website if you are new. And if downloaded from an unknown source then there is always a risk.
Need help with Amibroker
Hi All,
I've been contemplating about the Reverse Scale Strategy (from Five Minute Investing by Braden Glett) for long term trading. It is based on the assumption that there are enough very well performing shares to balance out those with minor or negative growth. I was told that Amibroker would be a way to test the strategy on historic data. As I have 0 knowledge about Amibroker, and, in fact, very limited experience in trading as such so far, I was wondering if a helpful Amibroker Guru could try to feed this is and see how it works:
The rules are:
- take all 52 wk highs at a certain date with share price over $3/share and turnover over $500,000/day (if possible: filter off precious metals, oil, utilities, food/grocery)
- buy them all at $1000 each
- set decision points for each at: 0.67x purchase price, 1.5x pp, 2.25x pp, 3.375x pp, 5.0625x pp
- if a share goes up to the decision point not previously achieved, invest another $1000.
-if a share goes down to the previous decision point, sell all
Would someone be willing to give it a try? That would be much appreciated!

Re: Need help with Amibroker
If you're still keen, maybe ask Joe to move this to the Amibroker help thread. Much more likely to get seen, imo.
I gave up because the idea itself seems very unlikely to be profitable (even before doing any testing). I'm assuming the guy that came up with those rules didn't actually test them himself? He just wrote a book? If so, that's reason enough to discard it on the spot. All systems appearing in books should have rigorous backtesting and/or broker statements included as proof. If they don't, it's not worth a cracker.
If you like rules based systems, have a look at Nick Radge's website. Plenty there.

Re: Need help with Amibroker
Ok, thanks for trying though!
If anyone else hae some ideas, please let me know! Perhaps, there is an easy way to get all 52 wk highs at a certain date (e.g. a year ago)? Then I could do some manual backtesting

This is the Indicator thats standard in Amibroker for a composite volume profile or simply volume at price
Now what I would like to have is a modified version of this that can draw colored lines of your choice in thickness and style at peaks and troughs on the profile depending on how much of the profile is showing. So these lines would be dynamic according to how much of the chart is in view, or alternatively by specified date range. I would also like to be able to specify the sensitivity of the peaks and troughs so that the lower the number the more peaks and troughs show up. So 01 is more sensitive and 99 is less sensitive and ignores all but the deepest troughs and the highest peaks. Labels on the levels is also required.
I'm willing to pay for this modification, upon agreement to a quote. Rather than put it out to quote on eLance, i thought i would do it here and then share the code.

Code:
PlotVAPOverlay( Param("Lines", 300, 100, 1000, 1 ), Param("Width", 5, 1, 100, 1 ), ParamColor("Color", colorCycle ), ParamToggle("Side", "Left|Right" ) | 4*ParamToggle("Z-order", "On top|Behind", 1 ) );Now what I would like to have is a modified version of this that can draw colored lines of your choice in thickness and style at peaks and troughs on the profile depending on how much of the profile is showing.

Hi,
I purchased Amibroker (v5.60) a couple of years ago but have had no success in getting it to function. I have very little computer skills so the problem may be my creation.
I’m in Australia and already obtain Metastock data from Just Data. Their website has a tutorial about setting up Amibroker to read their data.
I work through the tutorial and get to the point where I have exited the Metastock plug in screen, exited the database setting screen and am told to double click ALL to display my list of symbols.
My problem is that I can’t work out how to open the Symbols listing which on the tutorial is pictured on the left side of the screen. My screen is blank except for a tool bar across the top File Edit View ect, some tabs across the bottom and drawing tools for charts on the right side.
How do I get the symbols section?
Thanks in advance if anyone can help
Cheers stevo2

I'm not sure if the layout has changed since 5.60 but in the current version along the top with "File Edit View" etc. is "Window". Click on that and make sure "Symbol" has a tick next to it.
It may be in a different location in older versions, I recall it changing at some point. You may need to click on each heading to find "Window" if it's not in the main menu.

At the bottom of Symbols click on Charts and then drag a chart onto the white pane.

Ok, looks like "sheet1" is a blank pane.
Click on the "charts" tab in the bottom left hand corner. (first one across from the "symbols" tab).
Click on the small triangle next to "basic charts". That will open up the "basic charts" directory.
For the next step, there's a number of ways to do this but for simplicity either double click on "Price" or drag and drop it onto the blank pane.
