New preferences settings for AFL editor font/colors/highlighting
features
New color picker implemented
PLUGINS AND COMPONENT OBJECT MODEL SUPPORT
AFL engine - DLL Plug-in interface implemented (separate specification
available)
Plugin dialog implemented: (Tools->Plugins menu) allows
loading/unloading plugins without closing AmiBroker (useful in development
work, when you need to replace the DLL)
AFL engine - COM support added:
CreateObject( "server.class" )
CreateStaticObject( "server.class" )
ability to call methods in COM objects directly from AFL:
ob.MethodName( param1, .... );this allows writing/debugging your
trading system in Visual Basic/Delphi and similar COM-enabled languages
AFL: scripting host - added 2 new methods to AFL host object:
AFL.CreateObject( "server.class" ) - mainly for completeness
(duplicates new ActiveXObject functionality)
AFL.CreateStaticObject( "server.class" ) - this one is very useful for
COM objects that are slow to initialize (like QP2 objects). Thanks tothis
function initialization is done only once per AmiBroker session
ENHANCEMENTS IN BACK TESTER
trailing stops implemented
points only test for futures - commission handling adjusted to thiskind
of test
BuyPrice, SellPrice, ShortPrice, CoverPrice arrays are checked against
High/Low range for every bar and adjusted if they are outside of the allowed
range due to the wrong formula. Also these arrays are checked for {empty}
values and fixed to back to the default set in Settings if an {empty} is
encountered.
ability to add entry/exit prices to the back test report, precision
selectable 2 or 4 decimal digits
Buy/sell arrows are not shown for out-positions
show current trade arrows scrolls chart correctly also for short trades
when no data is available "N/A" is displayed in the backtesting reports
instead of ugly 1.#J or 1.$
ENHANCEMENTS IN AMIBROKER FORMULA LANGUAGE
New AFL functions: AddColumn( array, name, format = 1.2
);AddTextColumn( text, name );Plot( array, name, color/barcolor,
)

now array as a third parameter)
New reserved variableGraphNname = "string";
the color indexes in graphNcolor, graphNbarcolor, Plot() are now
consistently encoded
a default argument mode = 0 added to the following
functions:GroupID( mode = 0 ), MarketID( mode = 0 ), SectorID( mode = 0
), IndustryID( mode = 0 )when mode = 0 (or no argument is given)-
these functions return numerical ID (as in 3.79)mode = 1 - these
functions return name of the category (text)
added predefined symbols True = 1 and False = 0
New AFL functions: GroupID(), MarketID(), SectorID(), IndustryID(),
InWatchList( listno )
AFL: GetScriptObject() function allows calling functions in the script
part
AFL: parser stops after first error

the tabs if there is not enough space to fit all tabs and the horizontal
scroll bar

Builder

Indicator Builder and Insert Indicator dialogs ( just click on the caption
bar)

allowing to control which custom indicators appear in the menu.

log scale in custom indicator works now correctly:
