RE: [amibroker] FW: Can't get my Arrows from AA..., AmiBroker Email List Archive

Yuki,

I am not a software engineer, but it sound to me like you have a clash with some other software utility drivers or something that is specific to your computer and your installed programs.

At your own risk, you could try to isolate the problem by running Microsoft’s “msconfig.exe” utility from the Start > Run > command line. Choose General Tab > Selective Startup > Load Startup Items (uncheck this one). Then click on Services Tab and do NOT uncheck any of the boxes but DO check the box at the bottom termed “Hide All Microsoft Services”. Hit “Apply” and choose Restart machine. You should get a boot-up into a clean system with no extraneous drivers loaded into resident memory. Then open AB and search for those elusive trade arrows. If this works then you know that one of the start up utilities is causing your problem and you will need to laboriously bring one item back at a time and reboot until you find your arrows no longer show-up.

To reverse this process just go back into Start > Run > msconfog.exe and in General Tab recheck the “Normal Startup – load all device drivers and services”.

If you are uncomfortable with the above concept then I suggest you contact your local Microsoft Office and seek there guidance. Personally, I find Microsoft support personnel in my ‘neck of the woods’ to be fantastic.

Hope this may track down your problem. But I must repeat, I am no software engineer guru – just had to keep my own machines going over the last 20 years.

Regards,

Gordon Sutherland

Mine used to -- a long time ago. But it hasn't in ages.

I knew that it had to be the built-in, but apparently one cannot
modify the built-in, or at least there are restrictions on what
modifications are allowed.

Perhaps I should reset my default indicators, but I do not know how
to do this -- especially without putting any of my custom formulae at
risk.

I have never understood the reason that these arrows can only be
plotted on one default chart, but I'm sure there is a reason. It
would be nice, very nice, to have an option to plot them anywhere.
It's quite an inconvenience (to me, anyway) being only able to see
the arrows on one particular chart, and not a chart of our choosing.
