See
Steve's reply because the big difference in AFL is the array processing as
Steve explained.
The
books were for Excel VBA programming (macros) because that's what you asked
for. VBA is, in a way, quite similar to AB when using loops. They are just
constructed a little different. I learned Basic programming first, then VBA
(which is also a variation of BASIC). I picked up AFL from there with a little
intro by an experienced trader and then just doing it, reading help files and
asking a few questions along the way.
Just
look at some of the basic formulas you find in AB charts or the library. Take
the ones that don't look too complicated and understand them. Change a few
things. You'll be surprised at what you can learn. There is also (someone
please help here) an automated AFL code writer. You tell it your rules and it
writes code. You can then see what it did.

Hi Terry,
Noticed you reccomended these 2 books...I have
absolutely no problem coding in Amibroker,but I do run into problems with
coding such as this..
for( i = 0; i < *BarCount*; i++ )
{
if( priceatbuy == 0 *AND* *Buy*[
i ] )
{
priceatbuy = *BuyPrice*[ i ];
How would one become proficient/knowledgable in
writing code such as this???
Is this sort of language inherent in every language?
Would either of the 2 books you reccomended assist me
in this task?
If you or anyone could point me in the direction of a
"Dummies " book,that would be great.I would just like to be
proficient at writing/understanding code such as the snippet above
Someone reccomended Beggining Programming for Dummies
by Wang...
Any thoughts deeply appreciated
