AmiBroker 4.52.0 BETA released
Tomasz,
Why the change to "vertical quote selection line in linked windows
is now independent"?
FWIW I grew up on the QCharts [linked] mode and much prefer it.
Bob

CHANGE
LOG
CHANGES
FOR VERSION 4.52.0 (as compared to 4.51.1)
<span
>fixed problem with fixup=0 and handling multiple
data holes in a row
<span
>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
$MAXTICKERLEN 3
to make sure that ASCII importer accepts only symbols that have no more
than 3 characters (this excludes ASX options and warrants)
<span
>fixed problem with incorrect very first value of
the array returned by variable-period version of HHV/LLV
<span
>fixed Procedure/function parameter overwrite
issue when using built-in price arrays and variable overwrite issue
<span
>memory allocated for return value is marked for
earlier freeing so calling user-defined functions inside loops should
consume less memory
<span
>Interval() function enhanced. Now accepts format
parameter:
Interval( format = 0 );
possible values:
format = 0 - returns bar interval in seconds
format = 1 - as above plus TICK bar intervals are returned with negative
sign
so Interval() function applied to 10 tick chart will return -10
format = 2 - returns STRING with name of interval such as
"weekly/monthly/daily/hourly/15-minute/5-tick"
<span
>vertical quote selection line in linked windows
is now independent
<span
>changing "same day stops" via
SetOption("SameDayStops") in portfolio backtest mode has an
effect now (previously reacted only on manual settings)
<span
>SetOption("CommissionMode", mode )
works now in portfolio mode too (previously worked
in old backtest mode only)
<span
>SetOption("CommissionAmount", amount )
works now in portfolio mode too (previously worked
in old backtest mode only)
<span
>$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,CLOSE
will 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)
<span
>Import wizard now supports new separators 'comma
or space', 'semicolon or space' and 'tab or space'
<span
>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)
<span
>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)
<span
>OLE automation interface changes:
<span
>Analysis.Backtest and Analysis.Optimize now support
new "Type" parameter.
Type can be one of the following values:
0 : portfolio backtest/optimize
1 : individual backtest/optimize
2 : old backtest/optimize
For backward compatibility Type parameter is optional and defaults to 2
(old backtest/optimize)
<span
>Example code:
AB = new ActiveXObject("Broker.Application");
AB.Analysis.Backtest( 0 ); // perform portfolio backtest
AB.Analysis.Optimize( 0 ); // perform portfolio optimize
<font
size=2 face=Symbol><span
>·<span

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

<span
>Example code:
AB = new ActiveXObject("Broker.Application");
AB.Commentary.LoadFormula("C:\\Program
Files\\AmiBroker\\AFL\\MACD_c.afl");
AB.Commentary.Apply();
