Paul,
Someone else needs to explain. I just noticed in using it that you can indeed load whatever you wish into any formula by using CTRL E on any chart. That chart will have a name and it may be a built-in name. The loaded AFL will stay there until you change it. If you SAVE FORMULA it saves it under the current name unless you choose New and put it there.
I know there’s a way to recover a built-in formula if you did this. It may not even really save anything. As to where it’s stored or what really happens, someone more knowledgeable please jump in.

Terry:
Since LOAD FORMULA prompts me to select an AFL file, I infer that you are saying that the Built-In indicators are not hardwired into AB, but rather are a set of standalone AFL files living somewhere in the AmiBroker folder tree. Yes?
If so, I do indeed see some AFL files under C:\Program Files\Amibroker\AFL, but I don't see any file with a name resembling "Equity Line". Do you happen to know what the name is for that particular "Built-In" AFL file?
Thank you.

It’s not actually saved. AB saves whatever is there when you close as a sort
of temporary file (it’s save in the chart so to speak), but you can do a
LOAD FORMULA to get the original back.
