RE: [amibroker] Value of INCLUDE was: Poll results for amibroker & versatility

I too find the #include valuable. I have a base formula file and reference
this from explorations and indicators. Saves a lot of time making changes,
only one file to modify.
But I do have to giggle a little at your comments. Just looking at what is
written why would a person trading LARGE sums have any more say than someone
trading in small sums in regards to program development. The fee for AB is
the same for all. Are you suggesting that there be a scale of fees for
different people, giving them greater say in how the program is developed.
Yes this is a discussion forum, but I do get tired of some expecting more
and more all the time. 

Cheers,
Graham

Fred said: "Regarding #INCLUDE maybe I'm missing the power of this that
you 
suggest but I don't see the value of a preprocessor per se."

Fred: I am not sure you will find this informative, but I have just
completed a project for a FTer in converting a collection of signals
into a "Master Signal", all the while contending with tweaks and changes
to various parts of the components of the Master Signal.

I coded the segments into their own AFL files and assembled the master
signal into a collection of INCLUDES

INCLUDE(Signal 1)
T1=variable

INCLUDE(Signal 2)
T2=variable 2

Etc

Sum the Ts for a Master signal.

Used the same technique to plot the component parts.

When the logic of a component changes, I alter the one file containing
the logic and everything else changes with it, without any additional
code changes.

Valuable to me, whether you have a use for it or not, or consider it
"piggy".

I would never do optimizations thru this mechanism however for the
reason you suggest.

Ken
