Version Notes:
VVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVV   1.3  VVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVV
v1.3 adds rounding feature with adjustable parameters to work
with stocks, futures and forex. Also added to V1.3 is an exploration
with two modes. One for quick scans run just after the market opens 
and can be run multiple securities with an output of the basic levels. 
The other is a more thorough exploration intended to be used with one 
security at a time, and then output to a spread sheet for further analysis. 
Search in this docutment for the word 'Exploration' as the instructions 
or it's use are contained within that section.
VVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVV   1.4  VVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVV
## Added user selectable stop amount. Stop amount is selected in the 
parameters dialog and is used as a multiplier to position the stop loss
in between the breakout and the open. Lower values move the stop loss
closer to the brekout, higher values move the stop loss closer to the
open. Greater than 1 places the stop on the opposite side of the open.
## Fixed a bug in the FirstBOL and First BOL statements which prevented
an entry Signal from being recorded on the opening bar.
##Modified start and end time for market hours so the user can select whether
to adjust for daylight savings. User may chage the date ranges used for the 
daylight savings adjustment in the Parameters as well. Your data may not 
need to be adjusted for daylight savings so you should check your database
to determine if this parameter should be on or off.
## Cleaned up the code to reduce processor usage.
## Fixed some problems with the way the exploration was calculating the 
various levels AND recording entries/exits.
## Modified various price patterns so they can adjust for shortened
holiday trading days, (mostly used for futures and forex). User can select 
whether to filter out holidays or not. Your data may not contain data from 
shortened holiday market hours. This is mainly found in Futures and Forex data.
You should examine your data to determine the best seeting to use.
## Added parameter to allow adjustment of the profit target line
## IMPORTANT NOTICE: I used a section of VBScript in order to calculate some
of the time values related to the market open and close times. VBScript host 
is required in order to run this AFL, and it is included in Windows 2000 and XP.
I don't know if this is compatible with Windows Vista. More information is 
available in the AB help files. Search "AFL Scripting Host" to locate the 
Amibroker support information.

//Choice 2 is STATS wich is a more thorough scan that is intended to be used on

//the range in the analysis window to include whatever range of days you want to 
//output.

/*
$$$$$$$$ The two lines below display the output of the STATS exploration $$$$$$$$$$
$$$$$$$$ The top line contains the column headings and the bottom line   $$$$$$$$$$
$$$$$$$$ contains the data for each time stamp. Trend is measured as a 1 $$$$$$$$$$
$$$$$$$$ day swing pivot. U means the previous day closed above a recent $$$$$$$$$$
$$$$$$$$ pivot top. D mena the previous day closed below a recent        $$$$$$$$$$
$$$$$$$$ pivot bottom. F means the previous day closed between a         $$$$$$$$$$
$$$$$$$$ both the recent pivot top and pivot bottom. D3 and D2 are  plus $$$$$$$$$$
$$$$$$$$ and minus symbols to show the close of each day relative to the $$$$$$$$$$
$$$$$$$$ previous. D1 is the current day's open relative to previous     $$$$$$$$$$
$$$$$$$$ day's close. D1 is trade day, D2 is the day before trade day    $$$$$$$$$$
$$$$$$$$ and D3 is the day before that. After this is a series of 5      $$$$$$$$$$
$$$$$$$$ price patterns taken from Toby Crabel's book. 1's and 0's show  $$$$$$$$$$
$$$$$$$$ for each time stamp what the PREVIOUS day's price pattern       $$$$$$$$$$
$$$$$$$$ looked like. After the price patterns you find the 6 dollar     $$$$$$$$$$
$$$$$$$$ values for the breakout, stop and profit targets. The final 6   $$$$$$$$$$
$$$$$$$$ columns show what occured during each step and using 1's and    $$$$$$$$$$
$$$$$$$$ 0's diplays when you enter long/short, stop out long/short or   $$$$$$$$$$
$$$$$$$$ hit the long/short target.                                      $$$$$$$$$$

So the line above tells us these things:
(Trend) Yesterday closed above a recent pivot top. (D1)Today's open was above yesterday's close, (D2) yesterday
closed below the previous day's close and (D3) that day closed above it's prior day. Yesterday was
also WS4 and WS7 day which means expansion. At 9:37 am pries broke below the short breakout level
and a short entry was indicated.
