Bill Barrack from the Ohio area has taught
Amibroker 101 at various venues. He's
an excellent teacher and would do a great job on the
manual. In fact his AB101 Camtasia videos that were
produced in 2004 are probably still available at FTMonitor. I must caution that they were
produced before a major change in the indicators,
like drag and drop. (So there's this old
version bug a boo always staring at you..how
to keep the documentation and therefore the
manual current.)
The big question is - would it be worth his while or
anyone else's while to produce a manual?
If there was a chance of it becoming a best seller then
there would be a few folks dusting off
their eyeshades and keyboards to have a go at it.

with AFL Systems. Please Help.
Somebody suggested that I write a manual for AB, but if
I could do
that, I wouldn't be asking for it. Here is my suggestion
for a
quick way to do it: take the MetaStock Formula Primer, which is
widely regarded as being pretty good, replace all the code with
AmiBroker code, add a chapter about arrays vs loops, and put it out
here for comments and fine-tuning. That would take an AmiBroker
programmer 2 days, tops. As it would be offered for free, copyright
issues with MetaStock don't apply. It would be the best 2 days work
on
AmiBroker ever, because it would open AB up to many more people
who are
having difficulty learning to program it, and I know there
are many of
us.
