[amibroker] Re: Simple Optimize question

I am just wondering....how many stupid questions do I get, before I 
am booted from the group? :)

Maybe we should come up with a rookie system:

After posting 10 stupid quesions, and learning from your mistakes, 
you then become the default "stupid question answerer". By my count, 
I have 7 more to go.

Thanks again.
