hello usergroup,

since more than one month i m using the demo-installation of ab, 
read all the mails of you, got a lot of interesting stuff and 
knowledge about the software. 

coming from the sw-business i m knowing what a beta version is and 
the sense of it, i did not install that (yet). after this time my 
business-partner and i are convinced it is the right software for 
our purposes and we will order it. is there a 2-licences contract 
available? and, it has been discussed already but i did not an 
official statement from AB, how many upgrades are included?

my only fear is, that at a certain time the owners will sell the 
rights to an american company, that will change the marketing 
policy, combine it with their data-support, ask for a monthly fee 
and so on and make us dependent on them as this happened in some 
other cases in the world of trading-station business. this would of 
course hurt us, then our future AFL code will not be easyly be 
convertable to another programming language. but anyway, we decided 
to give it a try.

i think my knowledge-level with ab is still at about 20% but 
increasing day-by-day, so there are still some questions and for one 
basic problem, which is probably simple to handle, i did not found 
an answer.
when i apply an indicator or a new pane to the price-chart of a 
signal, or i do an overlay of the volume, or i insert a new pane 
with a new indicator, it is always done to all charts, panes of all 
other signals. this makes not much sense for me. we are trading 
currencies, indices and sometimes stocks. a correlation-chart 
between two indices makes no sense at all in eg. MSFT or any 
currency. we dont find the volume-overlay interesting in dollar/euro 
trading (which of course we could not test with the demo-version 
anyway, but probably there will be the same effect when this charts 
are available with the pro-version).
so how can i prevent the system to include all changes done to one 
chart or pane to all of them?
i  guess some of you will laugh now, some will bark and shout out 
about this stupid newbie question, but...hey dingo...just delete 
this mail or skip it :-)) probably there is a simple explananation 
or a link to a video? 

i find this video examples great btw!! good idea, dood job! my 
complements!

the other question, we have historical rt data from esignal in ascii 
format, is there a problem to implement them into ab and go on the 
next morning with rt esignal rt datafeed? is there something i got 
to know before i do it?

by the way in the AFL-Library i found some nice code as well, but 
this statements:

stochKworkaround = STOCH(14);
stochDworkaround = EMA( STOCH(14), 5);

in "Against-All_odds" ends up in  a syntax error. 
i would not mention it, but as i write a message to the forum 
anyway... so it is not a critic!

i find TJ and his co-workers and many others of you guys do a very 
good job and are very helpful, so am happy to share this product 
with you in future and we are hoping there will always be a good way 
of sharing our knowledge...

best regards
enzo
