Yeah I wish Amibroker was as simple as Excel for coding, alas it's not, so I struggle a tad with that. That is if I wish to create something totally unfamiliar.
I will add this, I had personal assistance and mentorship from a truely great AB coder for a number of years, 'Kaveman', absolutely brilliant guy! I have scores upon scores of coding he has done for me.
However with much perseverance, I usually get there finally in Amibroker coding when attempting my own from ground up.
Finding answers for Excel formulas is a cinch online, not so Amibroker, my membership with it has lapsed, I haven't upgraded neither computer nor AB for some years, turned all software updates off, found updates and upgrades were just too much hassle, always ended up with issues which took hours to sort out, so now trying to keep things simple and stock standard.
Trading is done via a seperate vehicle.
Amibroker is for algos which point me to the opportunities.

if you use NT this can be interesting to use:

Very handy if you do tests on combinations of multiple timeframes simultaneously.

I programmed, with some help, all the fomulas in TS and NT. Took some time but works perfectly. As I am not good at all in programming I continue to research and develop in Excel as it is less time consuming and far more flexible to quickly build, test or change new things.
I don't use any broker's trading system, and trade manually in the order systems.

Thanks.

I am looking into automated trading method linking the results of my Excel output to my broker's trading platform for entries and exits. But Schwab told me they do not support auto-trade that links to an outside program - for small retail traders like me.

Since then, absolutely love maths and excel is a great program to be able to use a wide swathe of different formulas, still getting a buzz from it even now, and I'm a retiree! :)

Do you know how to perform a do-loop within Excel without going into VBA?

Thanks.
 
Once you have endured duels with insanity and stood firm against the chaos that resides in solitude, will you have earned the right to call yourself a trader.
