[amibroker] Re: Semi-Newbies remarks and questions! --> Dimitris

Example:
It is quite convenient to plot MACD for stocks and OscP for indexes 
with a single line

Plot(IIf(StrLeft(Name(),1)=="^",OscP(12,26),MACD()),WriteIf(StrLeft
(Name(),1)=="^","OscP(12,26)","MACD()"),1,1);

[suppose your index begins with an "^"] , instead of creating 
numerous layouts.
I have a separate database for futures, since the philosophy [and the 
respective coding] is different [for me].
I use 20-25 panes for futures and more than 100 for the N100 database
[many composite tickers there...] 
As for the suggestions, I always try to describe what can we do with 
the *current* version.
