- Fully Multi-threaded charting.Fully Multi-threaded graphics.Massively parallel execution AFL (each chart in separate thread runs pane) * Allows to maximize speed and utilisation of modern multi-core / multi-CPU computers.Massively parallel execution of the AFL (each graph pane runs a separate thread) speed and a modern multi-core / multi-CPU to maximize the use of computers.For example on your 8-core Intel i7 CPU upto 8 times faster than charts in version will run 5:30. The AFL engine has been completely rewritten from the ground up to allow multiple instances of the engine running simultaneously.8-core Intel i7 processor, for example, the charts will continue until 8 times faster than version 5:30. AFL motor completely to allow for simultaneously running multiple instances of the engine from scratch, re-written.This not only enables but also enhances responsiveness of the entire application multithreading, as the formula used even in a badly-written chart user is not able to lock or slow the rest of the program. Multi-threading is ON by default. It can not be turned off by unchecking the "Multi-threaded charts" box in the Tools-> Preferences , "AFL" tab but it is strongly discouraged.This provides not only multiple but also improves the entire application response, and even used a graphical user formula is poorly written or too slow is not possible to lock the rest of the program. Multi-threading is on by default. This can be turned off in the "Multi-threaded graphics" box unchecking Tools -> Preferences , "AFL" tab, but definitely not recommended.Multi-threading should be ON if you want AmiBroker to operate at full speed.If you want to run at full speed multi-threading should be ON AmiBroker.

Implements Hull Moving Average.
It is functionally equivalent to the following, code:
This is functionally equivalent to the following code: function HMA_AFL (array, period)
{
fast = WMA (array, period / 2 ),
slow = WMA (array, period);
return WMA ( 2 * fast - slow, sqrt (period));

FIR (array, coefficients, size)
FIR (array, coefficients, size)
RETURNS
ARRAY
This function implements the general-purpose Finite Impulse Response filter (FIR) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finite_impulse_response
The output is call the convolution of the input table with coefficents (impulse response table).
Output and input coefficents ARAY table (table impulse response) is a convolution.
Necessary if the function performs automatic normalization of the coefficient table (if its sum is not 1)
(He is not a sum) if necessary, automatically normalize function makes the coefficient table
INPUTS:
INPUTS:- array - array to be smoothed inputArray - The input sequence to be corrected
- coefficients - array of FIR coefficientscoefficients - number of FIR coefficients
- size - number of coefficients (filter_order + 1)size - the number of coefficients (filter_order + 1)
It is functional (but 2 + times faster) following, the AFL equivalent of:
(But 2 + times faster), the AFL following equivalent functional: function FIR_AFL (input, coeff, size) {
result = 0 ;
sumcoeff = 0 ;
for (i = 0 ; i < min (size, BarCount ); i + +)
{
sumcoeff + = coeff [i];
result + = coeff [i] * Ref (input, - size + i + 1 );
}
return result / sumcoeff;
}
EXAMPLE
EXAMPLE / / for example 5 bar weighted moving average can be written: coeff [ 0 ] = 1 ;
coeff [ 1 ] = 2 ;
coeff [ 2 ] = 3 ;
coeff [ 3 ] = 4 ;
coeff [ 4 ] = 5 ;
FIR ( Close , coeff, 5 ); / / Another example: FIR Filter with ALMA is considered / / shifted Gaussian coefficents can be implemented as follows: functionALMA_AFL (input, range, offset, sigma)

- Calculate percent rank
- Percentage calculating rank
SYNTAX
PERCENTRANK (array, range)
RETURNS
ARRAY
FUNCTION
INPUTS:
Aarray - input data- Array - the data entry
- range - range lookbackrange - range of lookback
Returns percent rank (0 .. 100) of the current element of the array with all elements over the specified range.
Element in the array gives the rank of all elements of the specified range (0 ... 100).
A value of 100 indicates that the current element of the array is the Highest lookback for the given range, while a value of 0 indicates that the current value is the lowest range for the given lookback.
It is equivalent (but 2x faster) to:
{
count = 0 ;
for (i = 1 ; i <= Periods; i + +)
{
Count + = Data> Ref (Data,-i);
}
return 100 * Count / Periods;
}
Lookup (array, datetime, mode = 0)
Search (array, datetime, mode = 0)
RETURNS
NUMBER
FUNCTION
The function searches for the bar with specified datetime and returns the value from the same position of the input array.
Parameter 'mode' search is performed Decides how exact match is not found in the case when:
Parameter 'mode' when searching for an exact match is found, how to decide when:- mode = 0 - find exact match, otherwise return nullmode = 0 - to find an exact match, otherwise return null
- mode = -1 - find exact match, otherwise return nearest predecesor (past last bar is if it will return a datetime value last bar)mode = -1 - to find an exact match, otherwise the nearest predecesor (datetime the last bar of the previous bar, the value of past returns) return
- mode = -2 - find exact match, otherwise return nearest predecessor EXCEPT the very last bar (last bar if past is searched, it will return a datetime Null)mode = -2 - to find an exact match, otherwise the closest ancestor of the last bar EXCEPT (called datetime the last bar will return to the past while she is empty) return
- mode = 1 - find exact match, otherwise return nearest successor (first bar, it will return if before first bar is datetime value)mode = 1 - find an exact match, otherwise the nearest successor (the first bar before the first bar returns datetime) return
- mode = 2 - find exact match, otherwise return nearest successor EXCEPT the very first bar (first bar before if it is searched, will return a datetime Null)mode = 2 - find an exact match, otherwise the closest successor to the first bar EXCEPT (datetime sought before the first bar is empty it will return to) return
This function uses a binary search and it is very fast many times faster than previous methods such as the AFL-based FindValueAtDateTime () presented in the past.
Any call to FindValueAtDateTime (input, dt, value) can be replaced now with Lookup (input, value) (here is no need to pass dt-datetime).
NOTE: This function does not affect required QuickAFL bars, bars that therefore it will only search in arrays are actually loaded.
For indicators that it may mean it will not be able to find out if it is invisible, unless you use SetBarsRequired () function to Ensure that more bars are loaded.
EXAMPLE
EXAMPLE InputDate = "2011-04-05" , Title = "Close value at (or before)" + InputDate + "is" + Lookup ( Close , _DT (InputDate), - 1 );
