Wolfgang,
see
http://www.amibroker.com/guide/afl/afl_view.php?id=150
"...however you can use ANY identifiers (there are no limitations 
except that AmiBroker accepts only 2 letter codes)..."
Since amibroker already accepts alfa-numeric, AA or A0, as you read 
in other messages, you may ALREADY have 1296 different trendlines in 
the same pane !!!!!
Do you USUALLY need more ?
If positive, I would like to see [and save] a screenshot !!
