Amibroker - Tick Data Backtesting Bar Reference

[Isahnshade 10]

Hi there!

 

I'm new and I've been tinkering around with AFL. I was wondering about a few things and hope I can get some help.

 

First off, when coding for something like a breakout of an inside bar strategy using tick data to backtest, would I need to code during time ranges (ie. if price breaks the high between 09:00:00 and 9:59:00) or can I simply reference in 'bars' by having the tick data be composed of 1 sec bars?. I ask as tick data usually has their OHLC as the same value.

 

Next, how would I be able to use the Inside() function for intraday values or is it solely based on day timeframes as the helpguide mentions?

 

Lastly, how do I refer to a certain open price? ie I want to know the opening price of london and refer to that price in a if/else statement. Do I create a for loop or is there a built-in function for this and I can assign it to a variable?

 

Thanks!
