Ami AFL for Dummies : Change the shapes

In amibroker, the most popular technical analysis software, there are hundreds of charts. They use arrows and other shapes to show buy/sell or other signals. And some of them are very fascinating. But did you ever think that even you can change them very easily, without knowing afl?


I had a thought from the very beginning. as tweaking the shapes sometimes help expressing the chart better. Here is the trick. Open the afl coed in formula. Find the PlotShapes syntax. Change the shape constant as you wish. Save. Instantly, the shape will change in chart. There are lot of constants to use. They come bellow the picture shot, i`ve taken from Amibroker. First see it.


There are lot of constants to use. They are :


shapeNone, shapeUpArrow, shapeDownArrow, shapeHollowUpArrow, shapeHollowDownArrow, shapeSmallUpTriangle, shapeSmallDownTriangle, shapeHollowSmallUpTriangle, shapeHollowSmallDownTriangle, shapeUpTriangle, shapeDownTriangle, shapeHollowUpTriangle, shapeHollowDownTriangle, shapeSmallSquare, shapeHollowSmallSquare, shapeSquare, shapeHollowSquare, shapeSmallCircle, shapeHollowSmallCircle, shapeCircle, shapeHollowCircle, shapeStar, shapeHollowStar, shapeDigit0, shapeDigit1, shapeDigit2, shapeDigit3, shapeDigit4, shapeDigit5, shapeDigit6, shapeDigit7, shapeDigit8, shapeDigit9, shapePositionAbove
