Can I suggest the date and price of the cursor position be displayed in thegrey status area at the bottom of the screen. (ie same line as shows the num lock status, for help press F1) This would be useful no matter what toolwas in use at any time (eg the pointer, vertical, horizontal or diagonal line, fibonacci retracement, fibonacci time zones). It would be very useful for price extensions, optimising the position of a trend line and so on.
The open price is the at the top of the body of a black candle or the botton of the body of a white candle. I have drawn a diagram in the attachment which I hope clarifies. At present the bar chart shows the close price but not the open price.
I'd also like to add my thanks for the resizable window on the Analysis form.
Regards,
Geoff

Yes, I realized that I left the "Welcome" text unchanged after sending NLto the list. However an updated version is available on my
web site at:
http://www.amibroker.com/newsletter/06-2000.html
Sectors and industries will come back soon in NL :-)

No. I wrote some time ago on this e-mail list that broker.sectors and
broker.industires are used as a template when creating new workspace.
Once workspace is created these files are not taken into consideration.
In this way you may have different categories in each workspace.
If you want AmiBroker to load them into already existing workspace
please delete broker.workspace file BEFORE opening the workspace.
If you now open the workspace AmiBroker will read broker.sectors and broker.industries.

What do you mean? The open price? It is displayed when candlestick or barchart
is used.

Well, with "data tooltips" enabled (See Prefs->Misc) if you stay a while over
a point on the chart the Y position (Value) is displayed.

This is long discussed topic - sometime I will switch to that.
The reason why it was not implemented originally was that AmiBroker was
originally (in 1995) designed to run on Amigas with one megabyte (1MB) orRAM !!!!
It implied several limitations and it was one of it.

Thanks a lot, Fred! I think that this is the most important goal of this mailing
list - helping AmiBroker users to share their ideas and solutions.
