Tomasz, Thank you for all of your hard work. I am kind of in the middle of the programming curve, so the AFL Wizard will be a real help to me. I can see that if I study the generated code it will allow me a better understanding of AFL language. Please do not let the nay Sayers get you down. Keep up the GREAT work!

There were significant features added in every area even this year, to name a few: 1. advanced users / programmers got new control flow statements: continue, break, switch/case and gfx low-level functions 2. discretionary traders got cleaner charts (no thick divider lines between panes), improved real-time quote window 3. beginners got AFL code wizard So as you can see your worries have no reason - AmiBroker progresses quickly in many directions at once. Also the wizard should actually decrease number of support questions that we are getting. Why? Simply because there will be no basic questions like: I need a code that geberates a buy when volume is higher than its average from last 15 days. The wizard is also great *learning* tool. If you take a look, you will see that each statement that you build using natural language is accompanied with "AFL code equivalent" updated in real-time as you click parts. What's more the code part responsible for selected part of the sentence is marked with BOLD. So beginner exactly knows that "5 bars ago" is coded with Ref. This may not be obvious even for computer programmer coming from C language who is just starting with AFL. But now the learning process is turbo-charged with the help of the wizard. I think that you underestimate the role of the wizard in the learning process even for semi-advanced people.
