Tomasz,
 
Thanks for pointing out the button optionson Zoom 
! I did not know this - so definately I agree about not wasting screen 
space.
 
Thanks,

Hello Goeff and all,
 
Thank you for these suggestions.

1. A fibonacci price projection/extension 
tool. 
    Would be the same as 
the price retracement tool but allow you to drag the fibonacci lines 
upwards. ie 0% UP to 23.6% UP to 38.3% UP to 
50% etc etc. This is so that one can be on the lookout for price 
retracements once these levels are met on an uptrend. Obviously very useful 
for ALL users I think ! 
OK. Will be included soon.

2. I've already suggested but not to awide 
audience - A Continuous display of the current pointer/cursor position 
(ie Date, Price) in the grey status bar at the bottom of the AmiBroker 
Screen (near press F1 for help). This allows once to commence using a 
drawing tool at precisely the place required - eg drawing a trend 
line, using a fibonacci price extension tool etc. Also very usefulfor 
ALL users I think.
 
OK. As above

3. Zoom out/Zoom reset buttons onthe 
right tool bar. Again useful for ALL users I think.
This one for me seems just taking 
precious screen space. If you hold your mouse for a while over the "Zoom" 
toolbar button you will see
that it has all required functionality by 
using modifiers - holding SHIFT during click zooms OUT, holding CTRL 
resets zoom.

4. Promt for save of preferences on exit - 
include chart options (bars,candle etc) as well as colors etc. This 
is a nice to have feature - ie not essential.  

OK. Will be added soon.
<BLOCKQUOTE dir=ltr

5. Allow import of full stock name on ASCII 
file import. I was a little disappointed not to see this in 3.45. There 
are windows for extra options besides Ticker, O,H,L,C, Date 
but Fullname, industry or sector are not 
available.
You can dothis right 
now but only by editing .format definition file by hand. Wizard 
does not handle this for simplicity. My experience shows that too many options 
confuse beginner users.
So it may be 
implemented as a switchable "advanced" 
option.     
<BLOCKQUOTE dir=ltr

   There is a minor (very) correction 
the separator box of the wizard it should be " comma (,)" not "colon (,)" 

   Comma is the character "," Colon 
is the character ":"  (Maybe this is different in Polish 
(joke!).
  <FONT 
face=Tahoma>Thanks for pointing this out.

6.  A button which would give a 
screen print of the charts on screen in jpeg or gif format so these 
could be emailed for discussion.
    Currently I hit print 
screen, paste into paint, and save the file so this is a niceto 
have feature.
Nice idea.
<BLOCKQUOTE dir=ltr

7. Auto detection of user drawn trendlines 
(one Trend Up line and one Trend Down line per chart) by so that these 
detected arrays (TRENDDOWN, TRENDUP say) can be queried using the cross 
function. This would alow scanning using afl to detect buy or sell 
indicators. I don't know about others - but this is my biggest single 
want. I want to be able to draw my own trendlines - and I expect 
because others will want to draw their's according in their own rules -but 
would like afl do the grunt work of finding the cross 
points. That would be FANTASTIC ! I'd be really interested inhow 
many other users would like this.
I already have the idea of implementing 
this one in the way that will not limit you to only TWO arrays. In my solution 
you will be able to reference any study drawn in the chart from 
AFL.
