Hi Claud,

Did you read the release notes? There's a *ton* of hugely important new
functionality, including new *functionality* that's enabled by the new UI.

Everyone always has their own pet wishes that are more important to them
than other things, but nobody can do everything at once. Some of the new
features, like pyramiding/scaling out, are complex to design and build in a
powerful way, and have been requested by many people for a long time.

Have you sent your feature requests in via the expected channels? That'd be
http://www.amibroker.com/submit.html, I think.

And just on a human-relationship level, complaining about missing features
right on the eve of a big new release, without any sense of appreciation for
all the new tools that just got added, probably isn't the best way to
inspire Tomasz to greater heights (;-).

Re your proposed features:

1. I don't understand what you mean exactly, or why you'd want it. A
hand-drawn trendline is a discretionary choice on your part; it could have
been drawn in lots of other ways, but you made the decision to put it where
you did, for reasons known only to you. How is the program supposed to know
what mathematical formula would make the same choices you'd make in every
other circumstance it hasn't seen?
   I also don't understand the intended use of this idea. You know where to
draw it, so do it yourself. If you want to backtest an idea, or draw "the
same" kind of trendline on multiple stocks, you'll have to define how that
trendline is built numerically.
   If you do have an idea of the numeric principles behind a certain kind of
trendline you're interested in, there's a very good chance it can be coded.

2. You can already write code to switch to different MA periods depending on
what time frame is displayed.
