Is the installation complicated ? |

No, it isn't. Just follow the description below.
INSTALLATION GUIDE
1.Run the installation program. Select your amibroker directory. Please don't add a folder like PatternExplorer or any other folder. It's important to select your amibroker installation path. By default it is detected automatically and you can simply click Next. The setup also allows to define templates for light and dark background. Please select the one that best matches your prefered background. All colors are optimised for it. Thereafter you can still change the background through the parameters. Follow step 2 after installation.
2. Insert PatternExplorer.
Amibroker supports three ways to insert indicators.
A) Insert - inserts selected indicator into new chart pane.
Insert command internally creates a copy of the original formula file and places such copy into hidden drag-drop folder so original formula will not be affected by subsequent editing or overlaying other indicators onto it. Double clicking on formula name is equivalent with choosing Insert command from the menu. These copies will not be updated automatically through the PatternExplorer setup. You need to Insert them again when you install a PatternExplorer update.
B) Insert Linked - inserts selected indicator into new chart pane directly (i.e. linked to original).
Insert Linked command does not create any copy of the formula. Instead it creates new chart pane that directly links to original formula. This way subsequent editing and/or overlaying other indicators will modify the original. Insert Linked makes it possible to update all your PatternExplorer indicators automatically when you run a PatternExplorer update.
C) Overlay - overlay selected indicator onto selected chart pane.
Overlay command internally appends additional code to the formula used by the chart pane. If given chart pane was created using Insert Linked, it will modify original (linked) formula.
Composite indicators:
It is necessary to define a symbol which is available in your database. Otherwise, if you don't have the symbol ^DJI in your database, a small modification of the Tool "TB - Composites Update" is necessary. In this case open this file with the editor and go to the following line: Var1 = RelStrength(ParamStr("Relative strength symbol","^DJI")); and change the symbol to your desired one. Example: Var1 = RelStrength(ParamStr("Relative strength symbol","MyNewSymbol"));
Thereafter you can also change the symbol through the parameter window.
