The Guppy trading system AFL for Amibroker with Buy Sell signal


This trading system was developed by Australian trader Daryl Guppy and named after him. He had used a set of twelve exponentially-weighted moving averages.  He had selected 3, 5, 8, 10, 12, and 18 period exponentially-weighted moving averages ( EMA)  as short-term and 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, and 60 as long term EMA. This helps a trader to analyze the stock from different levels.

There are many ways to deploy this system, but rather than seeing this system as a cross over trading system we should view it as a trend momentum identifier. What has been suggested by Guppy is to take the sum of six short-term EMAs against the sum of the six long-term EMAs and look for trading signals.

The Foundation AFL for Amibroker

 The Foundation by Southwind
 Today I am posting an AFL which looks colorful and interesting. I am not the creator of this AFL. This is known as The Foundation AFL by a Bangladeshi coder with a nick name of SouthWind. The SouthWind as the coder calls himself has attempted to incorporate many indicators into one AFL.

Heiken Ashi type of candles have been used instead of the normal candlestick charts. Weekly, Short term, Medium term and Long term trends have been included.

Besides the general market trend all major indicators like RSI, MACD Stochastic, T3 have been covered. Volume, price spread is indicated. Support and resistance lines are drawn on the charts. Many other features can be enabled with the help of properties window.I have removed or disabled many features as they were more confusing than informative.

This AFL can be used for general study purpose, but for deep observation we need to be more focused on individual index charts.However this work of The Southwind must be appreciated for the effort put together.

The most important thing about this AFL is that the requirement of two other files needed to run the code in Amibroker. They are T3_include.afl and JurikLib.dll and kpami.dll. The T3_include afl must be copied and pasted in the folder Include. The other two plug in dll files must be copied and pasted into Plugins folder under Amibroker. I have uploaded the files in my 4shared folder for which I have included the links. For the AFL to run properly the correct placement of these files are important. 

Once these copy past job is done the Foundation AFL for Amibroker is ready for charting. The code it self is too large to be posted here. I therefore have uploaded in my 4shared folder. Kindly download the same from links given here.

T3_Include  - in include folder
JurikLib.dll  in plugin folder

Best of Luck
