Tim,
Answers to the best of my limited AB knowledge (Tomasz is the man to give
definitive answers):-
1. No. Time frame selected Daily/Weekly/ monthly affects all currently
displayed inner windows and charts sheets together. Might be on the wish
list for future release - I seem to remember this being requested before.
2. Yes. AB has a study() function for user defined lines.
3. I would guess can be done using calculation and study() function.
4. Not that I am aware (see 1).
5. No.
6. Yes. There is a Foreign() function to reference data from other issues.
Also there is an integrated scripting facility which allows you to code in
J/VB script anything which cannot easily be achieved in standard AFL
(Amibroker Formula Language).
7. Not clear what this indicator does. Could you explain in more detail and
maybe post a chart gif ?
FWIW I'm also an experienced Metastock user and IMHO Amibroker is a much
more capable allround product.
John
