Tomasz,
Why the change to "vertical
quote selection line in linked windows is now independent<SPAN
class=406411417-15032004>"?
<SPAN
class=406411417-15032004>FWIW
I grew up on the QCharts
[linked] mode and much prefer it.

CHANGE LOG
CHANGES FOR VERSION 4.52.0 (as compared to
4.51.1)
fixed problem with fixup=0 and handling multiple data holes in a
row
added new commands to ASCII format definitions:$MINTICKERLEN
<number> - defines minimum accepted length of the ticker
symbol$MAXTICKERLEN <number> - defines maximum accepted
length of the ticker symbol For example ASX users may wish to
use$MAXTICKERLEN 3to make sure that ASCII importer accepts
only symbols that have no more than 3 characters (this excludes ASX
options and warrants)
fixed problem with incorrect very first value of the array
returned by variable-period version of HHV/LLV
fixed Procedure/function parameter overwrite issue when using
built-in price arrays and variable overwrite issue
memory allocated for return value is marked for earlier freeing so
calling user-defined functions inside loops should consume less memory
Interval() function enhanced. Now accepts format
parameter:Interval( format = 0 );possible values:format =
0 - returns bar interval in secondsformat = 1 - as above plus TICK
bar intervals are returned with negative signso Interval()
function applied to 10 tick chart will return -10format = 2 -
returns STRING with name of interval such as
"weekly/monthly/daily/hourly/15-minute/5-tick"
vertical quote selection line in linked windows is now independent
changing "same day stops" via SetOption("SameDayStops") in
portfolio backtest mode has an effect now (previously reacted only on
manual settings)
SetOption("CommissionMode", mode ) works now in portfolio mode too
(previously workedin old backtest mode only)
SetOption("CommissionAmount", amount ) works now in portfolio mode
too (previously workedin old backtest mode only)
$SEPARATOR command in ASCII importer definitions now allows to
import files that have fields separated by more than one separator
characters Separator string (array of characters) must be enclosed in
quotation marks. If there is only one separator character (as in old
versions) then quotation marks are needed.For example files with
joined date and time$SEPARATOR ", "$FORMAT
DATE_YMD,TIME,OPEN,HIGH,LOW,CLOSEwill be able to import file
like this:2004-02-04 12:30,3.41,3.44,3.40,3.42 (note date and
time field are separated by space not by comma)
Import wizard now supports new separators 'comma or space',
'semicolon or space' and 'tab or space'
ASCII importer and Quote Editor properly distinguish records
with time specified as 00:00:00 from EOD records (without time)
CHANGES FOR VERSION 4.51.1 (as compared to
4.51.0)
OLE interface methods numbering adjusted to maintain backward
compatibility with previous versions and other programs referring to
old OLE interface
CHANGES FOR VERSION 4.51.0 (as compared to 4.50.10)
OLE automation interface changes:
Analysis.Backtest and Analysis.Optimize now support new "Type"
parameter.Type can be one of the following values:0 :
portfolio backtest/optimize1 : individual backtest/optimize2 :
old backtest/optimizeFor backward compatibility Type parameter
is optional and defaults to 2(old backtest/optimize)
Example code:AB = new
ActiveXObject("Broker.Application");AB.Analysis.Backtest( 0 ); //
perform portfolio backtestAB.Analysis.Optimize( 0 ); // perform
portfolio optimize
OLE automation interface new object: "Commentary"This
object has 5 methods:- BOOL LoadFormula( STRING pszFileName ) -
loads the formula- BOOL SaveFormula( STRING pszFileName ) - saves
the formula- void Apply() - displays the commentary - BOOL
Save( STRING pszFileName ); - saves commentary output (result) to the
file (use after call to Apply())- void Close() - closes the
commentary window
Commentary object is accessible from Broker.Application object via
Commentary property:
Example code:AB = new
ActiveXObject("Broker.Application");AB.Commentary.LoadFormula("C:\\Program
Files\\AmiBroker\\AFL\\MACD_c.afl");AB.Commentary.Apply();AB.Commentary.Save("Test.txt");AB.Commentary.SaveFormula("MACDTest.afl");//AB.Commentary.Close();
AFL function Now( format = 0 ) accepts new parameter values
Returns current date / time in numerous of formats: // formats
supported by old versionsformat = 0 - returns string containing
current date/time formatted according to system settings format =
1 - returns string containing current date only formatted according to
system settings format = 2 - returns string containing current
time only formatted according to system settings format = 3 -
returns DATENUM number with current date format = 4 - returns
TIMENUM number with current time format = 5 - returns DATETIME

YEAR (1..366)

does not appear in the titleand does not appear in the data tool
tip
Plot( C, "Price", colorWhite, styleCandle );Plot( MA( C, 10 ),
"", colorRed ); // NOTE that this plot name/value will NOT appear in
the titlePlot( MA( C, 20 ), "MA20", colorGreen );
SetOption( "field", value )accepts new

most recent) value of the following fieldsreported by streaming
real time data source )(Note 1: this function is available ONLY in
PROFESSIONAL edition,calling it using Standard edition will give
you NULL values for all fields)(Note 2: works only if data source
uses real time data source (plugin) )(Note 3: availablity of data
depends on underlying data source- check the real-time quote
window to see if given field is available )(Note 4: function
result represents the current value at the time of the
call/formula execution/, and they will be refreshed depending on
chart or commentary refresh interval/settable in preferences/.
