Hello,
Anyway, if you have a problem just add "Param" function to your formula
and then it should be fine.

>>> >> CHANGES FOR VERSION 4.62.0 (as compared to 4.61.0)
>>> >>
>>> >> a.. implemented indicator drag and drop mechanism. See video

>>> >> b.. new "Chart" tab in the workspace window (lists all AFL
>> files

>>> >> c.. Automatic Analysis formula window is now drag&drop target
>>> > too (you can drag formulas and AFL files onto it)

>>> >> 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

>>> >> h.. In Tools->Preferences , Keyboard you can how define

>>> >> i.. "Allow mixed EOD/intraday data" switch does not affect N-

>>> > bars anymore
>>> >> j.. Parameters are not reset to default values when changing
>> the

>>> >> k.. new parameters dialog allowing using sections (for

>>> > 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

>>> >>
>>> >> 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
