Mr. Rob....as a very new beginner to the AFL language, thank you for the code you kindly provided. Yes, I am new, but I do not consider the word "algorithm" as a "big" word, and it certainly does not make me feel important. However a  few things do, and I will list them for you...
 
1. My wife and kids
2. My BA degree in Economics/Business administration
3. My full time job, as well as owning/managing my apartment building
4. My past experiences in the computer field, such as interning at JPL (that's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, for the beginners who do not know)
5. My tollerence for sarcastic Mr. Know-it-alls  like you.
 
And all this at the ripe young age of 34! So again, thank you for your contrubution, but for future reference, keep your 2 cents worth to your self .
 
All the best,
Dennis

Tomasz,
 
A sentence such as this could go a long way toward demystifying the term algorithm.
 
"How could I write a scan for an upward sloping 170 period EMA?... here
is the algorithm I want to use..."

" (EMA 170) - (EMA 170 47 days ago) > 0 "
 
In other words, the term is practically unnecessary. It is precisely what AB users have been creating in Amibroker the last few years, and it already has a name; it is known as AFL.  The above is nothing more than a line of AFL code.
 
Beginners do not need a big word to make themselves feel important. They know they are important when they start to succeed in crafting their thoughts in AFL;  then observe the splendid and speedy handling procedure in the Amibroker program; not the other way around.
 
Answer would be something like this, or whatever the accurate representation actually is:
 
Col 9 = EMA(C,170) - Ref(EMA(C,170) - 47) => 0;      Plot (Col 9, "AlGoreRythm ",  5, 4);
 
Just a plea for utmost simplicity in language as an aid in understanding for the newcomer who may be overwhelmed by the unfamiliar vocabulary of technical terms.
 
Sincerely,
 
Michael Robb
