Re: [amibroker] What are these Files?

["Tomasz Janeczko" <groups@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

Most files are explained in the User's Guide (layout files are described there as well)
http://www.amibroker.com/guide/x_files.html

As of those not mentioned there:
broker.watch is real-time quote symbol list
broker.newcharts is a successor of broker.charts file (from 4.70 and up)
CommandBars - keeps customizations to command bars (toolbars, etc)
..bak files are made during Indicator Maintenance.

Best regards,

  I've hunted through the Help file as well as some Readme's and cannot find these files mentioned.

  broker.watch
  brokerold.bcharts
  broker.newcharts
  broker.exe-CommandBars47

  I don't know what occurrence cause them to be made or what they are for.

  There are also backup files made that I'm not sure when or why they were created

  broker.masterback
  brokernewcharts.bak
  broker.bcharts.bak

  I'm trying to find what caused my preferences to change and why I lost some charts in several of my layouts. Formulas are still in Custom folder. Also all tickers have no long name data in the various lists. The Information is still there, just doesn't show. Digging through the files in AB folders and my database Layout, I found these files that I could use some help with and perhaps why and where the old configuration may reside.

  Thanks
  Dave
