very first DLL I wrote was to make the T3 indicator adaptive (posted in files). 
I had high expectations however, almost one year later I still have not 
succeeded in using it effectively to make an adaptive system. I concluded that 
adaptive indicators are intriguing and may, in the hands of an expert, 
help make an adaptive trading system. But, in my case, I overestimated the 
benefits. Now, of course this is not so for all 
indicators/functions...

  Herman, spare the lecture, and don't even think of insulting those of us 
  that have researched this before you had heard of it.
  Nobody is proposing that any other improvements should be 
  put on hold to create these capabilities. I too, would like to see more 
  improvements for trade control, but unfortunately, it appears that your 
  "general purpose" enhancements should have the right of way. Surely, you have 
  already created fixes, work-arounds, scripts, and loops for those 
  enhancements.
   
  I made some suggestions of what I would like to see 
  without trashing what you would like to see as 
  enhancements/improvements.
   
  Would you like to change that situation? 
   
  Anytime, Baby.

    Subject: RE: [amibroker] Poll results 
    for amibroker - README
    Sorry folks, but this poll is pretty SCARY! In fact i am 
    wetting my pants!I would much prefer to have Tomasz concentrate on 
    overall versatility andafl enhancements in general, i.e. work on 
    FEATURES THAT YOU CANNOT FINDANYWHERE ELSE AND THAT WILL BENEFIT EACH 
    AND EVERY USER.Face it: almost all special indicators can be 
    implemented with a little bitof work around, some looping, some scripts, 
    or in the extreme case with aDLL. The DLL-list has considerable 
    expertise and some very helpful people.If you really think your 
    special indicator will make you a lot of money thenit is worth your 
    while to learn (remember the word?) a few new things.Perhaps even pay 
    (YES!) somebody to write a DLL for you. Also, if a specialindicator is 
    really that important to you then you could find some otherusers and 
    combine efforts to get the job done, perhaps even share the costof 
    hiring somebody for a few hours.To have TJ sweat on that many 
    individual indicators to have some user try itout and to find that it 
    after all doesn't do the job and to never look at itagain, is a waste of 
    time. Yes: I have been there and done it!Let us be honest: we want 
    those indicators to "try them out" not because we"know" that they are 
    going to make us rich. From the last 200 indicatorsthat you tried, how 
    many have made you rich? Obviously not too many...It islike looking for 
    the HG: there is NO single million dollar indicator.Any indicator 
    that has less than 20 (30?) votes should be ignored. Why?Because in an 
    equivalent amount of time TJ could implement general purposeAB 
    enhancements that would benefit each and every single user. Some of 
    theseenhancements (like the recent looping) would allow probably most of 
    theindicators to be implemented by users themselves.How many of 
    you have tried the new looping functions? How would you likesubroutines? 
    Pyramiding? etc. Some of these functions would benefit everysingle 
    user...OK, I will not vote for any indicator: I will vote for 
    general purposeenhancement (should have been an item on the 
    poll?).best regards,Herman-----Original

    Tomasz suggested thatwe compose a list of the most desiredindicators

    indicators/functions tokeep the list at 25 which is the maximumfor a

    onlycounts as one indicator for the purposesof this poll :-).
