Hello Geoff,
Thank you for your suggestion. I think that it is worth
implementing :-)
As for bars - yes now it's clear, I will add open ticks
to the bar charts,
but just tell me why don't you use candlesticks if
you like to see open prices?
In my opinion, candlesticks are much more readable... the
only advantage of bars
are that they take less space.

from ASX data
Tomasz and All,
Can I suggest the date and price of the cursor
position be displayed in the grey 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 tool was 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

Hello Fred,> [...]> I sighed ..
"sectors and industries" at last ! then, instead, you went on to>

Question 1]: What is the role of these two broker files (sectors and>

GroupID are type :number> suggesting that broker.(sectors and
industries) are documentation ?No. I wrote some time ago on this e-mail
list that broker.sectors andbroker.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 workspaceplease delete broker.workspace file BEFORE
opening the workspace.If you now open the workspace AmiBroker will read
broker.sectors and broker.industries.> Q2] is it possible to
display the 'open' marker on the price-bar ?What do you mean? The open
price? It is displayed when candlestick or bar chartis used.>
Q3a] In the price window would it be possible in a future release to

dynamic like we have with the Refresh button in the 'Guru

will switch to that.The reason why it was not implemented originally was
that AmiBroker wasoriginally (in 1995) designed to run on Amigas with
one megabyte (1MB) or RAM !!!!It implied several limitations and itwas
one of it.> I am new to this 'game' so decided to put the whole

:-) .Thanks a lot, Fred! I think that this is the most important
goal of this mailinglist - helping AmiBroker users to share their ideas
and solutions.Best regards,Tomasz Janeczko
