Rick, Most things can be done in 'pure' AFL... i.e. array operations. However, not everything can be done simply by operating on arrays.
Some array functions allow for recursive operations to be carried out, namely AMA() and AMA2()... However, some recursive algorithm's (for example those where the use of trigonometric functions is required) CANNOT be carried out without a loop... If I could have written it without the loop I would have... but it wasn't possible. --- In amibroker@yahoogroups.com, Rick Osborn <ri...@...> wrote: > > Appreciate the response. > Speed is not the problem. > Understanding why is. > Perhaps someone can enlighten me? > > Best Regards > Rick Osborn > > > > > ________________________________ > From: Rob <sidharth...@...> > To: amibroker@yahoogroups.com > Sent: Wed, June 30, 2010 2:41:18 AM > Subject: [amibroker] Re: New 3rd party toolset for AmiBroker > > > It's a long time since I coded this, but as recall, this simply can't be done > outside of a loop.
