Hi Tom,
Is there a minor formatting error in the quote importing
window? My version overwrites the file action with the percent complete.
Well, I am not aware of it, butmay happen
with VERY long paths to the file(s).
Is there a way to open a new, empty, pristine
workspace? When I try to open a new workspace the program goes intoa
save mode but does not clear the current stocks.
"File->New workspace" feature is provided to start
a new blank database.You should create a new folder using file dialog that
shows up andsave proposed broker.workspace file in that new
directory.When you do - full subdirectory structure will be createdin
the folderyou made and the stock list will be blank prepared to adding new
stocks
When I trade I pay a flat commission per share or per
contract. Is there a way to make that an option in the commission
tables?
Unfortunatelly you can not (currently).
How do people generally handle data files such as .AQDfiles
after they have been loaded by AmiBroker? Do you delete them? Zip and
save them? Rename them?
Personally I delete those files, I backup only
AmiBroker database, but you can keep them.
Is there an easy way to incorporate external data? I
would like to use Investors Business Daily EPS and RS values to screen
stocks. It would be useful if there were the capability to store some
"generic factors" that could be applied to each stock. Then users could
employ insider rankings, P/Es, P/Ss, IBD values, etc. at their own
discretion. These would need to be imported separately through an AFL
program or entered through the keyboard, as well.
You can only access some financial data fields
exposed by Automation object model:
FinanceIncome( number
Quarter ) : number
FinanceEBT( number
Quarter ) : number
FinanceEAT( number
Quarter ) : number

Hi folks-
I have this rising rising feeling of guilt. For a week or so I have
been reading all of the interesting AmiBroker posts diligently (Does the word
"voyeur" ring a bell?). I am still trying to learn more about the system
and how to make it sing and dance (see some questions below). Hats off
to Tomasz for a fabulous effort! When not on the road I call Nevada
(U.S.) home - on the shores of Lake Tahoe.
I have done some automation programming in windows (primarily to
automatically download option quotes, interest rates, etc.) I highly
recommend Macro Scheduler (<A
href="">http://www.mjtnet.com) for jobs like this.
I have followed a local company (AIQ). They have two separate
bulletin boards (yahoogroups): one for general postings about the software and
problems with it and a second list for postings concerning their programming
language (Expert Design Studio). One can sign up for either or both
boards.
Another idea: There was an investing journal some years back that required
that you submit an article a year in order to maintain your
subscription. The same could be done with afl code. There were no
stringent requirements on the level or sophistication of the articles.
Something like this is good because it forces us all to remind ourselves of
the good programming practices to document our code so that it is clear to
other readers.
I would certainly be willing to submit my meager offerings in any fashion
in order to benefit from both the feedback on my stuff and the observations of
what others are doing. We should strive to agree on a system that is, as
much as possible, self managing. I would hate for Tomasz, for example,
to spend much time administering such a beast. (He needs to remain
chained to his keyboard cranking out the next group of great AmiBroker
features!)
Now to a few questions:

now. Thanks to you all and especially, thanks to Tomasz.
