Tomasz: thanks for your quick and thorough reply - as usual.
Please consider this for screens: many visual traders depend on numbers of
indictors and trendlines and other "constructions" on the screen. It
becomes hard to see to put 4 or 5 or 6 indicators on a screen, so therefore
it is naturual to put half on one screen and half on another screen. (Please
no comments from others on autocorrelation of price indicators---some folks
just like to see various indicators and are happy with them.)
If you can not make 100 max screens (some people might not mind scrolling
this many screens if it helps them make money and still save time), then
perhaps you can make the save screen capability more flexible. If I could
save a screen layout for just ONE screen, and reload it into just one screen
location, so it came back with all of the indicators and trendlines and
other stuff on it when it was saved, then living with 20 screens could be
ok.
Either way, it is more work for you although I would think changing some
code to allow say 30 screens (not 100) would be easier programming wise then
making the save screen capability like I mentioned above.
No matter what, I am still happy with AB, but think this would make it
appeal to even more people.
Anyone else think these capabilities are useful to you?
Thanks,
Ken

Ken,
There are some technical issues behind these limits.
For example watch list membership information is stored
in each stock in 32-bit integer field. Each bit represents one
of 32 watch list. If given bit is set - the symbol belongs to
corresponding watch list.
I can, of course, increase the number of watch list if there is such
need.
Number of sheets is limited because of practical reasons -
scrolling through 100 of sheets would be not so convenient.
As for indicators - the maximum number of custom indicators is currently
limited by 2000. (This is also for practical reasons - scrolling through
2000 items
list is a pain). As for this particular limit - this will gone away as soon
as I implement
a formula tree that will allow you to group formulas in folders/subfolders.
The formula tree structure will look as symbol tree looks now.
Best regards,
Tomasz Janeczko
