Thanks for your reply. I'll read the release notes and try the new 
features. Thanks for reminding.

1) The purpose of that is to easily/precisely find out trendline 
support/resistance for the next day. It's also easy to implement: 
user clicks two points, Amibroker makes a line based on the two 
points, that's it. 

2) Yes, I already coded that by making a new copy of the indicators. 
It will be nicer if the feature is built-in.
