[amibroker] Re: Manually entering data for an indicator or composite?

Thanks dingo and Terry,

Terry, I found out today that you can in fact enter negative numbers 
into a symbol by doing what dingo suggested.  Enter the data into a 
text file and then use the Import Wizard to import it into 
Amibroker.  Be sure to check the "allow negative values" box in the 
Wizard.  This worked beautifully and I appreciate dingo taking the 
time to solve this problem for me.  Now, though, I have 2 more 
newbie questions:

1.  I have created a layout which has multiple windows, one for the 
price and volume data and the other ones for the indicators.  Each 
indicator is set up as a symbol.  I want the price data to be 
displayed as bars or candles, but not the indicator data.  When I 
select a window that contains one of the indicators, and click 
on "Line Chart", all of the windows change to a line chart, 
including the price window.  Is it possible to display data in some 
windows as lines and data in other windows as candles/bars?

2.  Actually I would prefer to look at histograms instead of line 
charts for some of the indicators (i.e., similar to the way MACD is 
often displayed).  Is this possible?

Thanks again to all of you who've helped me thus far.  I'm very 
close to getting this thing set up just like I want it, but I still 
have a little ways to go.  Hopefully this will be the last of my 
newbie questions for a while.

Regards,
Jason
