AmiBroker 4.61.0 Beta Read Me
August 28, 2004 18:17
THIS IS A BETA VERSION OF THE SOFTWARE. EXPECT BUGS !!!
Backup your data files and entire AmiBroker folder first!
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT: This archive is update-only. You have to install full version
4.60 first.
Just run the installer and follow the instructions.
Then run AmiBroker. You should see "AmiBroker 4.61.0 beta" written in the
About box.
Many thanks to all providing detailed descriptions how to reproduce given
bug.
See CHANGE LOG below for detailed list of changes.
CHANGE LOG
CHANGES FOR VERSION 4.61.0 (as compared to 4.60.4)
a.. custom time interval support extended to N-day bars.
Now you can define N-day bars in Preferences (Intraday tab) as well as
you can use N-day bars via TimeFrame functions. For example
TimeFrameSet( 3 * inDaily ); // switch to 3-day time frame
VERY IMPORTANT:
inWeekly constant is now 432001 ( 5*inDaily + 1 ) - in previous version
it was 432000
inMonthly constant is now 2160001 ( 25*inDaily + 1 ) - in previous
version it was 2160000
It is changed because now N-day custom intervals are supported and they
will interfere with weekly/monthly.
Note that 5*inDaily is now DIFFERENT than inWeekly. 5*inDaily creates
5-day bars that DO NOT necesarily cover Monday-Friday
while inWeekly ALWAYS creates bars that begin on Monday and end on
Friday. Also 25*inDaily creates 25-day bars that DO NOT necesarily represent
full month, while inMonthly always begins with first day of the month and
ends at the last day of the month
CAVEAT:
if your code uses hard-coded numbers like 432000 for weekly and 2160000
for monthly then you MUST change your code to use inWeekly constant and
inMonthly constant instead.
b.. Study properties dialog has now new checkbox
"Lock position" - when checked study can not be moved or re-sized
c.. ExitAtStop has a new meaning for N-BAR stop type.
If ExitAtStop = 0 then N-bar stop has the lowest priority (so if for
example profit target stop is hit on the same bar then profit target is
evaluated first)
If ExitAtStop = 1 then N-bar stop has highest priority and it is
evaluated before all other stops.
The same effect is obtained by checking "Has priority" box in AA
Settings window.
d.. new maximizing/restoring chart pane functionality available via:
View->Pane->Maximize
View->Pane->Restore
as well as via right click menu.
Remember that you can assign your own keyboard shortcuts for that using
Tools->Preferences->Keyboard
e.. New drawing tool: Arrow
- draws a line that ends with an arrow
f.. New drawing tool: zig-zag line
draws a series of connected trend lines (Hint: press ESC key to finish
the series)
g.. new File functions in AFL:
a.. fdelete( "filename" ) - deletes file
"filename" is path to the file name (relative or full path).
If just file name without path is specified then AmiBroker directory
is used, returns TRUE if file successfully deleted, FALSE otherwise
b.. fmkdir( "dirname" ) - creates (makes) a directory
"dirname" specifies path of the directory to be created. Please note
that this function creates only ONE directory at a time.
So if you want to create nested directory tree you have to call it
multiple times, for example to create C:\MyDirectory\MySubDirectory folder
you have to call it twice:
fmkdir( "C:\\MyDirectory" );
fmkdir( "C:\\MyDirectory\\MySubDirectory" );
Note also that it is safe to call it even if directory already exists
(then no change to file system is applied)
Returns TRUE if directory successfully created, FALSE otherwise
c.. frmdir( "dirname" ) - removes a directory
"dirname" specifies path of the directory to be removed. Please note
that this function removes only ONE directory at a time.
So if you want to remove nested directory tree you have to call it
multiple times, for example:
fmkdir( "C:\\MyDirectory\\MySubDirectory" ); // delete nested subdir
first
fmkdir( "C:\\MyDirectory" );
Note that directory must be empty before removing it otherwise it will
not be possible to remove it.
Returns TRUE if directory successfully removed, FALSE otherwise
