If you get stuck the Amibroker FAQ thread here is a good place to ask questions:

Howard's free Intro. to Amibroker pdf is a good read to get a handle on the basics of setting it up.

Nick's forum has an Amibroker section too that's got a lot of good info in it.

Thanks Captain.

Strangley----I am looking forward to it.
I have all of Bandys works.
What I dont have is time! There is no positive expectancy there!---for any of us.
In the meantime as has been the case for a couple of years now--other things have priority.

Ill make sure I a menace to those FAQ threads!

How the hell do people code those things?

Just copy it into the formula editor?

Yeah, exactly. Just cut and paste it into the editor and then save to your custom formula folder or a new one you make up. Most of these were copied from the Amibroker user group. There are likely heaps of better scans there now.

Have fun, you can blow away a whole day if your not careful! lol!

I look forward to it! I've always found your VSA posts thought provoking over the years so happy to help you with any Amibroker related questions.

lol, my wife would say it's my second language!

When I first started with Amibroker TJ was putting out a "tips" newsletter up until around 2002. They're still in the Amibroker members area, a bit outdated now but still worth a look.

There's also AFL's published in S&C magazine and posted in the members area each month. There's the equivalent Metastock version as well which may help in your coding some of your Metastock stuff into AFL.

The AFL library has a good collection and working through the indicator/system/exploration etc. examples there gives a good insight into how Amibroker array processing works.

There's a good collection of AFL's on this site now too:

You already understand system development etc. so you'll pick things up a lot quicker than most and you'll be able to spot the crap and ignore it quicker than others too. Unfortunately it's like everything else, there's really no shortcuts... 10,000 hours

Oh, I should add that there's plenty of written and video tutorials on the support page:

The Amibroker Yahoo group is a must to join too:

Set it to send you each post via email, much easier to sort through that way.

Also, outlines of the platform independent system development process useful for developing systems, analyzing their risk, profit potential, health, and safe position size.
