Re: [trading] [amibroker] Starting AB with different data bases

Hello,
 
You can install AB multiple times into completely separate locations (not recommended because of all additional work it requires
 when installing updates) and have separate shortcuts to each installation.
 
Alterative is to setup several folders with different "START IN" property. "Start IN" defines the "CURRENT WORKING DIRECTORY"
where AmiBroker looks for the files (including the preferences and all other config files). This will allow you to have one installation
but multiple working folders. And each folder that normally exists inside "AmiBroker" folder will need to be creaded.
This includes "Formulas" subfolder.
 
But frankly Herman, you should think twice about this. Having everything separate means that you will have multiple copies
of everythign and each editing you will need to do more than once. This greatly increases the time just maintaining everything
 

Best regards,

It is not just the icon, renaming these would be good enough for me.
 
I want to start each instance of AmiBroker with a different database, each instance has a different purpose, and right now after each startup i have to selected a different data base. i suppose what i need is to be able to specify the dataSource (as in preferences) on the command line...I think i must be doing something dumb or am missing ... time to read the Help once more :-)
 
I suppose i could create separate directories/folders for different AmiBroker DataBases, that way everything would be specific to the DB used.Then make separate icons for each... In preferences i could specify where the afl files are located, those folders could be independent of the regular AmiBroker folders... that should work just great! Thanks guys for making the old neurons click! Talking to the wall doesn't always work...hmm...now to get the formula tree root path to work...

To clarify, rightclick choose "Properties" then "Change Icon". You can select an exe or dll to browse for new icons. Not all contain icons though.

Create a new AB shortcut on your desktop, then right click & choose "Change Icon" Icons are usually stored in the exe or a .dll. You can browse Esignal, etc for icons, or choose from default Windows icons, or even create your own using an icon editor.

Hello,
 
would anybody know how to create different icons on the DeskTop that start AB with different databases? I would like a variety of icons to start of with, for example, IB data, eSignal data, QP2 data, Tick data, etc. So that on start up they are loaded with relevant code/Indicators and data base.
 
thanks for any ideas!
herman.
