In order to give you better idea about what kind of stability and reliability you can expect out of different BETA versions, we are starting to give stability ranks to all releases.
It is important to understand that BETA mark does not always mean the same. Sometimes BETAs are rock solid, sometimes they are experimental. It all depends on what has changed since last production release. If there were only additions, without changes to existing functionality, one can expect BETA to be perfectly stable, exactly the same as official version. On the other hand, when BETA brings significant changes to existing code base, sometimes turning large portions of code upside down (like with multi-threading rewrite), one should expect that BETA is experimental and it is likely to exhibit problems. To distinguish between these completely different situations we introduce stability rank.

The following ranks will be used:

1. Stability: - Experimental, possibly unstable
2. Stability: - Early BETA, introducing new features and changes, may exhibit minor problems
3. Stability: - Regular BETA, pretty stable, works fine in most environments
4. Stability: - Stable, almost as good as final release version
5. Stability: - Final production release quality, fully tested and stable

The AFL Code Wizard is a new add-on for AmiBroker. It allows creation of trading system formulas without ANY programming experience. The system creation is done using highly intuitive graphical interface. Now trading system creation is available to everyone. No programming, no cryptic blocks or diagrams! Just describe your system in plain English!

See how easy it is and check the AFL Code Wizard instructional video at: http://www.amibroker.com/video/amiwiz/AFLWiz1.html

The AFL Code Wizard is available for purchase for $49 one-time fee. Further upgrades are free. Click here to buy now.

You can download stand-alone trial version from: http://www.amibroker.com/bin/acw1000beta.exe (After running setup, double click on AFLWiz.exe inside the installation directory). Trial version REQUIRES AmiBroker 4.90 or higher.

For best results however we recommend using AmiBroker 4.95.0 BETA that features integration with AFL code wizard.

To run AFL Code wizard from AmiBroker 4.95 just select Analysis->AFL Code Wizard menu.

The trial version has all the functionality *including* export of auto-generated AFL formula to AmiBroker. The only missing feature in trial version of AFL Code wizard is saving the project in .awz format. Project files are only necessary if you want to save your creation for future modification with code wizard and sharing with other people in "wizard" format.
