Hello


1. The setting up of layouts..repeat layouts and not watch lists and
scrolling through them is very clumsy in AB. One has to individually load
individual layouts by clicking on them-simply using arrow keys to scroll
up/down the layout list wont load them. I am open to correction here so
please correct me if I am wrong.

2. This is the bit that no one has commented upon but I believe has
relevance to use of layouts. If I create a layout with two windows -  one a
wekly chart and the other a daily chart of the same issue, the use of
studies is illogical. Let me elaborate this. The pivots that one would find
significant on the weekly shall not necessarily be the ones, one would like
to use on the daily and vice-versa. However when a study is plotted on
either of the two component windows of the layout it also gets plotted on
the other where it may not be relevant to the time frame used in the window.

Hope someone will look into it.

Regards


R
