This course is designed for traders who want to learn how to use AmiBroker to create backtests and/or generate trading signals, but who have little or no familiarity with the AmiBroker language.
At the completion of this course, you will be able to:
Create your own custom indicators, and add them to an AmiBroker chart.
Backtest basic trading strategies in order to see which ones have edges, which ones do not, and take the strategies that have edges and make them better.

Topics
AmiBroker from 10,000 Feet (20 min)
AmiBroker is a comprehensive technical analysis program, with advanced charting, backtesting and scanning capabilities. For those not familiar with the application, we will quickly cover some of the major areas of functionality. For more information, see the Tutorial section in the AmiBroker help file.
Data Sources (20 min)
AmiBroker does not directly provide any useful price data. Rather, it is a set of tools which can be used with data from a variety of providers, including Norgate, CSI, TeleChart, Yahoo and others. We will discuss some of the advantages and disadvantages of each of these providers, as well as items that are important to consider for any provider you might decide to use.

Coding Part 1 (40 min)
In our first coding session, we will introduce the AFL scripting language and the tools for creating and running your first script. Fortunately, you need only a limited set of commands to implement a basic script, particularly if you have a template to start from. However, AmiBroker contains a rich set of indicators and other functions that will ultimately allow you to test a wide variety of trading ideas.
