[amibroker] Re: Are dynamic arrays possible in AB?

Graham,

Thanks. I find the sorting and ranking within the Osaka routines to 
be very fast. I am going to try saving a binary version of the table 
created using Osaka and then from within my indicator code recall and 
load the table into memory and index into it for just the rank of the 
ticker I have displayed in my chart therfore only needing to create 
one array instead of 200 which I think (hope?) I can do.  I think I 
should then be able to plot this without incurring a performance 
penalty.....thanks for your help.

regards,
Tom
