Hello,
Please send a sample formula that causes problem for you,
because I am not able to reproduce the problem,
AB works just fine in all cases I have tried.

>> >>
>> >> a.. Mode - specifies how options are set:

>> >> CHANGES FOR VERSION 4.62.1 (as compared to 4.62.0)
>> >>
>> >> a.. new AFL function

>> > allows to select the styles applied to plot
>> >>
>> >> b.. new constants:
>> >> styleHidden - a combination of styleNoDraw | styleNoRescale

>> > value, causes that default color cycles through red, blue,
> green,
>> > turquoise, gold, violet, bright green, dark yellow
>> >>
>> >> d.. added new setting in Preferences->Charting "Ask for

>> >> (default = TRUE) ensures that AmiBroker displays parameter

>> >>
>> >> e.. removed obsolete "max number of custom indicators" setting
>> >>
>> >> f.. Param() function accepts 6 parameters now
>> >> Param("name", defvalue, min = 0, max = 100, step = 1, sincr =
>> > 0 );
>> >> (Only for advanced users)
>> >> a new parameter sincr is defines the increase of default

>> >> For example:
>> >> Periods = Param("Periods", 15, 2, 200, 1, 10 );
>> >> Plot( MA( P, Periods ), _DEFAULT_NAME(), ParamColor( "Color",
>> > colorCycle ), ParamStyle("Style") );
>> >>
>> >> now when more than one moving average is dropped onto the
> chart
>> > then subsequent moving averages default to 15, 25, 35, 45, ...
> and
>> > so on (starting value is 15, increase per new section is 10)
>> >> CHANGES FOR VERSION 4.62.0 (as compared to 4.61.0)
>> >>
>> >> a.. implemented indicator drag and drop mechanism. See video
>> > tutorial: http://www.amibroker.net/video/dragdrop1.html
>> >> b.. new "Chart" tab in the workspace window (lists all AFL
> files
>> > and directories from "Formulas" subfolder)
>> >> c.. Automatic Analysis formula window is now drag&drop target
>> > too (you can drag formulas and AFL files onto it)
>> >> d.. new AFL special functions used to automatically create
>> > formulas from code snipplets dragged onto the the indicator pane.
>> >> _SECTION_BEGIN, _SECTION_END, _SECTION_NAME, _DEFAULT_NAME,
>> > _PARAM_VALUES
>> >> e.. new styleNoTitle causing that given Plot name and values
> are
>> > not included in the title bar of the indicator
>> >> f.. new ParamField function allowing to pick price field
>> >> g.. new ParamToggle function allowing for boolean (Yes/No)
>> > parameters
>> >> h.. In Tools->Preferences , Keyboard you can how define
> single
>> > key shortcut for maximizing and restoring chart pane via View :
>> > PaneToggle
>> >> i.. "Allow mixed EOD/intraday data" switch does not affect N-
> day
>> > bars anymore
>> >> j.. Parameters are not reset to default values when changing
> the
>> > formula- user-edited values are kept
>> >> k.. new parameters dialog allowing using sections (for
> example
>> > from drag&drop generated code)
>> >> l.. parameters dialog displays the items in the order as they
>> > appear in the formula
>> >> m.. fixed Y-axis scale shrinking problem occuring when
>> > styleOwnScale was used for all plots
>> >>
>> >> n.. Insert->Standard Charts, Insert->Custom Indicators menu
>> > options removed (now everything is handled by drag & drop) (You
> can
>> > still insert old indicators from Indicator Builder dialog though)
>> >>
>> >> 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
>> >>
