Hello,

Thank you for your e-mail.

Here are my answers:

Currently you can not display different time frames in the same window.
You can however open two windows (Window->New menu) and display
different time frames in separate windows.

> 2. Can the formula language explore for crossovers/breaks of manually
> drawn trendlines?
Yes. This is explained in the newsletter:

Yes. Use AFL function: ROC( Study( "ID" ) );

> 4. Can the time frame of each bar/candle be user-defined, such as a 3
> or 10-day bar/candle instead of the standard weekly, monthly, etc.?
Currently no.

> 5. Similarly, can the day of the week to start and end a 5-day
> bar/candle be user-defined? For example, I'd like to display a weekly
> bar/candle chart that uses Tuesday as the first day and Monday as the
> last day of the week.
Currently no.

> 6. Does the formula language support calculations using multiple
> issues? Could it, for example, rank (through an exploration) the 5-
> day rate of change of the relative strength (comparative) line of all
> issues in a folder vs. the S&P?
Yes. There are built in functions relstrength() and foreign() that allow
construction of multiple-issue indicators/systems.

> 7. Can you calculate/display a Volume By Price indicator similar to
> that on BigCharts or MegaTech as a histogram on the y-axis?
Will check it out and get back with details.
