It's the ARRAY aspect that gets everyone, especially programmers. You are
not computing a single numeric value every time, but every value for the
entire history of the stock. This also means you can't "go back" and change
a prior value (without using loop code and subscripts[i], which would be
much more familiar to you). Then you have special variables that run their
own functions invisible to you. Most notably, Buy-Sell-Short-Cover cause a
backtest to be run.

Check out "Understanding AFL" in the help section if you haven't already.

Subject: [amibroker] AFL for Dummies

Excuse me for being a Dummy but is there a book similar to the 
"___________ for Dummies" series. I just don't quite
get the whole thing. I am decent at VB-6 in that I can find what I need 
to after awhileeeeeeee. But looking at the various
AFL's that people post and that make up the indicators, I am still 
missing something.

Any idea's.
