<SPAN 
class=333243011-09092003>so the position of the arrow relative to the chart is 
correct and useful, but you want the chart to scroll to where the arrow is?

<SPAN 
class=333243011-09092003>if that's what you mean, the only way I know of to do 
that doesn't work in exploration mode, as far as I know. in scan or backtest 
mode, once you've run your code, <FONT face="Courier New" 
color=#0000ff size=2>you can right click on a 
signal line in the results list and choose 'Show Current Trade Arrows'. that 
brings up that particular stock's chart, displays arrows for that one trade, 
only, hiding the rest, and scrolls the chart there.

  class=910372503-09092003>Dave, thanks for responding. Using your way of 
  describing it, then I want the day that has the trade arrow attached to it to 
  be located about 30% to the left side of the HARD RIGHT EDGE of the 
  chart.  This would allow me to 
  instantly view the falling chart action and the condition of 
  the indicators that I based my scan on.   Since 
  the Amibroker program always positions the chart with the trade day close to 
  the left side of the chart, I have to move the chart to the right in order to 
  get a good look at what the price action of the stock was doing as it was 
  dropping in price.
  <SPAN 
  class=910372503-09092003><FONT 
  color=#0000ff>I want Amibroker to move the chart to the appropriate 
  horizontal location so that the trade day, and therefore the trade 
  arrow, is located  where I want it to be.  In other words, I want 
  Amibroker to do the chart moving instantly for me, so that I do not have to 
  move it everytime myself.

  <SPAN 
  class=910372503-09092003>hi ron, I might be completley misunderstanding 
  your question, but the horizontal position of trade arrows is to put them on 
  the day they're generated. so if your system sets buy to 1 on 8/1/02, that's 
  the day the trade arrow shows up. typically, that's the most useful thing, so 
  you can look back over a period of time and see where the trades 
  were.
  <SPAN 
  class=910372503-09092003> 
  <SPAN 
  class=910372503-09092003>if you want something to appear at the hard right 
  edge of the graph, regardless of zoom level or scrolling, I'm not sure how 
  you'd do that, since that could be pretty much any day.

  <SPAN 
  class=910372503-09092003>sorry if I'm missing the point,

    I am in the process of reading how 
     to do explorations.  Up to now, I  only run 
    scans.                 
     
    I run scans that  look at ALL QUOTATIONS 
    and I then view the charts by clicking on SHOW CURRENT TRADE 
    ARROWS.   
     
    The chart then pops up with the trade 
    arrow located  about 17% of the chart width inward from the left 
    edge of the chart.   I would like to have the option 
    to change the settings, or use AFL to make the chart pop up with 
    the trade arrow located  about 30% away from the right edge of the 
    chart.  This would allow me to instantly view the trend 
    situation and the condition of the indicators that I based my scan 
    on.
     
    BTW, my scans are trying to catch falling 
    knives, and I look at the trajectories of the falling knives in order 
    to fine-tune my scans. On the right side of the trade arrow, I only 
    need to be able to see the first pullback or 
    consolidation.  
     
    Once I think a scan is ready to use 
    for trading, I would like to have the ability to make the 
    trade arrow appear at the HARD RIGHT EDGE of the chart.  Then, 
    I will be able to practice actual trading of the scan 
    results.   
     
    Maybe this is already possible.  I 
    would appreciate  reading various thoughts on this 
    subject.  Ron
