SetChartOptions function should be used carefully 

As written here:
www.amibroker.com/f?setchartoptions

use should use Flags = 0,
if you use any other value of Flags parameter then you won't be
able to modify the settings provided by setchartoptions because
they will get overwritten with each chart refresh.

So I guess you are using SetChartOptions with Flags not equal to
zero and thats causes your problems.

Tomasz,
broker.newcharts is getting updated as expected. I can't explain
everything yet but I think the majority of my problems have to do with
SetChartOptions. It explains why some things get reset to defaults,
why dates appear sometimes and not others, etc.

Bottom line: It's my problem, not an AB problem, and nothing for
anyone else shoud waste any time on.

Dan
