and area style back to> minvalue or zero whichever is less>
> c.. Plot, PlotOHLC and PlotForeign have 2 additional
parameters for> specifying fixed minimum and maximum values for
Y-axis> Note that new parameters work only when styleOwnScale
is used:> > Plot( array, title, color, min = {empty}, max => {empty} )> PlotOHLC(
open, high, low, close, title, color, >styleLine, min=>
{empty}, max = {empty} )> PlotForeign( ticker, title, color,
min= {empty}, max => {empty} )>
> New parameters make it easy to plot ribbons, for
example:> Plot( Close, "Price", colorBlue, styleCandle

of pane width */> "Ribbon",> IIf(up,
colorGreen, IIf( down, colorRed, 0 )), /* choose color */>
styleOwnScale|styleArea|styleNoLabel, -0.5, 100 );> >
It also makes it easy to plot 2 or more "own scale" plots with the
same> scaling:> > minimum = LastValue( Lowest(
Volume ) );> maximum = LastValue( Highest( Volume )
);> > Plot( Close, "Price", colorBlue, styleCandle
);> > /* two plots below use OwnScale but the scale is
common because we set min> and max values of Y axis
*/> Plot( Volume, "Volume", colorGreen, styleHistogram |
styleThick |> styleOwnScale, minimum, maximum );>
Plot( MA( Volume, 15 ), "MA volume", colorRed, styleLine |
styleOwnScale,> minimum, maximum );> > a..
fixed date axis display for custom intraday intervals longer than 60>
minutes> b.. "dirty" flag is set properly now during ASCII
import in $OVERWRITE 1> mode (solves import watch list
problem)> c.. when switching layouts ticker bar selection is
now synchronized with> active window> d.. after
AA->Scan Foreign symbol cache is flushed> e.. now
styleLeftAxisScale really allows modification of built-in price>
chart to feature moving average of volume> // Now plot volume
and its moving average using left-hand axis scaling>
Plot( Volume , "Volume", colorBlue, styleLeftAxisScale | styleHistogram
|> styleThick | styleNoLabel );> Plot( MA( Volume,15),
"MAV", colorLightBlue, styleLeftAxisScale |> styleNoLabel
);> f.. ASCII importer and Import Wizard now allows to import
negative prices> (useful for spreads). New command is $ALLOWNEG 1 and
new check box in Import> Wizard is "allow negative prices". Please
note that logarithmic scale can> NOT be used to display negative
prices because log() function is undefined> for negative
values.> g.. four new AFL
functions:> a.. LinRegIntercept( ARRAY, periods
)- calculates intercept of linear> regression line the "a"
coefficient> in a + b*x (LinRegSlope calculates
b)> b.. LinearReg( ARRAY, periods )- calculates
linear regression line> ending value according
to> a + b * x (where a and b are intercept and
slope of linear regression> line)> c..
StdErr( ARRAY, periods )- calculates standard error function> (standard
error of linear regression estimate) - the same as MS' STE>
function> d.. TSF( ARRAY, periods ) - calculates
time series forecast indicator> (similar to LinearReg but differs
by> the value of lin reg slope)> >
CHANGES FOR VERSION 4.13.1 (as compared to 4.13.0)> >
a.. F4 key for Edit | GoToSymbol works again and can be redefined in
the> shortcut editor> b.. new style:
styleLeftAxisScale = 65536 - allows to plot more than one> graph
using common scaling but different from regular (right axis)
scale.> Example: price plot plus volume and moving
average plot:> // Plot price plot and its moving
average> Plot( Close, "Price", colorWhite, styleCandle
);> Plot( MA( Close, 20 ), "MAC", colorRed );>
> // Now plot volume and its moving average using left-hand
axis scaling> Plot( Volume , "Volume", colorBlue,
styleLeftAxisScale | styleHistogram |> styleThick
);> Plot( MA( Volume,15), "MAV", colorLightBlue,
styleLeftAxisScale );> > (in one of the future betas
you will be able to display ruler for> left-hand axis)> >
> CHANGES FOR VERSION 4.13.0 (as compared to 4.12.0)>
> a.. fixed bug with loading layouts for stocks that have
spaces in the> ticker symbol> b.. new pre-defined
shortcut keys: Alt+Left = Next symbol, Alt+Right => Prev
symbol,> Ctrl+NumPadPLUS = Zoom In, Ctrl+NumPadMINUS = Zoom
Out,> Ctrl+PageUp = Prev Sheet, Ctrl+PageDown = Next
Sheet> c.. new keyboard shortcut editor in
Tools->Preferences->Keyboard allow> user-definable keyboard
shortcuts> d.. fixed display bug in Preferences->Intraday
that caused rounding to> full hours custom bar intervals of morethan
60 minutes> e.. Layouts->Save As does not generate
duplicate entries in the tree when> already existing name is typed in
(it was harmless but still not nice)> f.. A confirmation
box is displayed when choosing Edit->Delete session>
g.. fixed problem with incorrect interval shown in the settings section
of> the report when hourly periodicity was selected>
h.. new style: styleOwnScale = 32768 allows plotting graphs with>
independent scalling (like volume graph on price plot)> i..
implemented PlotForeign("ticker", "title", color, >styleCandle> | styleOwnScale )> j.. implemented
PlotOHLC( open, high, low, close, "title", color, >>
styleCandle | styleOwnScale ) that allows plotting candlesticks/bars
from> other arrays without need to overwrite existing OHL arrays.>
> CHANGES FOR VERSION 4.12.0 (as compared to 4.10.3)>
> a.. color coded and multi-line caption bars in
indicators> colors are selected automatically when using
Plot() function or> graphNcolor variable.> If youuse
Title variable you have to specify colors in the string.>
Colors can be specified using \\cXX sequence where XX is 2 digit
number> specifying color index \\c38 - defines violet, there is a
special sequence> \\c-1 that resets to default axis
color.> For example> > Title =
"This is written in \\c38violet color \\c27and this in green";>
> You can also use new AFL function that makes it easier.
Function is called> EncodeColor( colornumber
).> And you can write the above example like this:>
> Title = "This is written in " + EncodeColor( colorViolet )
+ "violet color> " + EncodeColor( colorGreen ) + "and this in
green";> > Multi-line caption is possible by simply
embedding line break \n, for> example:> Title=
"This is 1st line\nThis is second line";> > >
b.. new layout handling code:> a.. you can now
have unlimited number of> custom, multiple-window
templates that can be switched between with just> double click on
layout name in the "Layouts" tab of the Workspace
window> b.. you can open/save/delete layout
by clicking on the Layout tree with> right mouse button and choosing
appropriate function. "Save As" option saves> current layout under
new name.> c.. Local layouts are per-database
while Global layouts are visible from> all
databases.> d.. information saved in layouts
include: window sizes and postions,> maximized/minimized state chart
panes available on each sheet (independent> for each window),
selected bar interval, selected symbol, selected chart>
sheet> e.. Most recently used layout can be saved
on exit and database switch> automatically (see:
Tools->Prefs->Miscellaneous "Save on exit:
Layouts")> f.. old single-window layoutsare
now renamed to "templates"> c.. CCIa( array, period )
function added - works like CCI but accepts> input array insteadof
working on (C+H+L)/3> d.. implemented a *very* basic
pre-processor with single command #include> that allows to include
external AFL files into your formula. Syntax:> #include
"path\to my file\name path.afl"> Note 1: include statement
need SINGLE backslashes in the path (this is> quite the oppositeto
normal AFL sting> parsing)> Note 2: using
#include command may slow down formula execution even>
considering the fact that AmiBroker tries to include only once and
cache> pre-processed text> Note 3: that currentlyno
error message is given if #include fails and> this
code> is experimental.> Note 4: nesting
#include commands is not supported> e.. balloon tooltipsfor
status bar> f.. color-coded plugin status pane in the status
bar, plus pop-up balloon> notifications when connection state
changes> g.. ability to link custom menu to the plugin status
pane - new QT plugin> (beta) provides Connect/Shutdown options thru
such menu.> h.. data plugins receive UNLOAD notification
correctly> i.. you can sort columns in Quotation Editor by
click on column header> j.. layout of Quick Review window
changed to allow smaller window size.> k.. Intraday
settings dialog allows wider time shift -23..+23 hours> HOW TO REPORT
