The indicator is just displaying plain bar chart and nothing else. I am using amibroker 5.3.
Hello godisbogus ,
This image is also of AB 5.30
check parameter window…you should have data from 01-01-2010 …if not then change date from parameter window
Thank you
Hi,
Just found this interesting formula and trying to experiment.
My coding not strong and when trying to change the start date parameter, it seemed to change ok but back test results did not change. Also changed startdate manually in code line for ‘start’ but no effect.
Maybe stopATRPeriod is involved??
Thanks for your help in advance.
Regards, Doedau.
Hi,
Works fine with lower versions also.
Try this,
Block the following lines in the code.
//Version(5.20); // requires v5.20
//SetBarsRequired(sbrAll);
This is essentially the same code that was published in Stocks and Commodities and on the AmiBroker website. The only thing that this code does is eliminate two other stops that in the original: fixed percent and modified-Chanelier.
Is there any update on this AFL?
Only Barchart are shown, ATR Trailing lines with triangle shapes are not shown.
Update please, I love this afl but can’t use in amibroker 6. Blank in the chart called null for atr.
