Graham,

I can't get the help file favourite entries to stick. After entering them,
closing and reopening they are gone. 
I need some help with the help file lol
And don't ask me to search the help file!

Any ideas...do all your entries stay there in the list ?

Regards,
William Peters

Gerard, the other way is to use the Favorites tab within the help files. I
use this to go quickly to the AFL lists, AFL reference manual etc

When you find a useful page, add it to your favourites list

Friend,

If you are as I, 
Challenged IQ-ally, 
Memorially, Mathematically, Conceptually, 
To name but a few, 
Well this may interest you. 

You see I was damn sick of wasting time finding info. Continually hitting
the help button and ploughing thru page after page of the manual. Talk about
frustrating. Half the time I'd previously found what I was now
looking for and not couldn't I remember it, I couldn't find it again!   
A flash of inspiration suggested I use Indicator Builder to create a readily
accessible source of stuff I regularly use.

What you see underneath is a straight copy & paste from an IB pane of mine
named A INFO (that name keeps it at the top of the Indicators list).

In my custom A INFO indicator I keep easy to get at;
AFL numbers of the colours I use.
AFL numbers of the chart styles I use.
AFL formuae I can copy/paste until I get to remember them.
All Kinds of other guff I consider useful. 

This is all arranged in descending order of useability/complication, for me
that is. I mean when is a drongo like me ever gunna use;
_TRACE   - print text to system debug viewer 
Yeah right.

I dump stuff when I am finally able to remember it.

NB.
PLEASE don't do a straight copy/paste of my file (I sure as hell wouldn't
trust me to be correct), but create your own. Your needs will be different.

// A INFO
// COLOURS
5=green  19=darkgreen       4=red  24=darkred    6=blue  21=darkBlue   
7=yellow  1=black    2=white  25=orange  28=Teal  38=Violet  

// CHART STYLES
1-line    4-thick    2-histogram    8-line with dots    16-no line

You can combine some styles but NOT all make sense, for example (64+1)
(candlestick + line) will result in candlestick chart (style=64 )
