[amibroker] AB charting improvements (revisited)

Tomasz,

Back in February the group had a discussion about which charting studies 
they would like to see improved in AB. During the course of the 
discussion you encouraged all to send their suggestions to the feedback 
centre. I've just had a scroll through the list and there are a hell of 
a lot of open suggestions in there so it seems that the group did its 
bit !! :-)

Please understand that I know you're extremely busy and commited to the 
development of your program, so I don't want to give the impression that 
I'm being impatient...would just like your up-to-date views on what 
priority level you have assigned these improvements and when we might 
expect them ? Generally speaking of course. The reason I need to know is 
that I'm a discretionary trader and would *really* like to only have to 
use one piece of charting software. At the moment I hop between AB and 
others simply becuase AB is missing a few essential (IMHO) tools/functions.

So we're on the same page (and so you can see I'm not just having a 
general gripe!) I've listed the particular improvements I would like to 
see personally, with the suggestion numbers next to them. Others are 
welcome to add to this list of course.

1) Andrew's Pitchfork - warning lines and Schiff/Modified Schiff 
projection methods (suggestions #148, 913, 917 and 881). Please, please, 
please - this is the real motivation for this post, I just got carried 
away with the rest!!!
2) Equivolume chart style (#299, 733, 864)
3) VAP which allows summation over a defined date range (#491)
4) Projection - drawing tools properties option to project studies "x" 
bars into the future from the right-hand edge (can't remember wher I 
read this)
5) Fib tool - ability to turn off range trendline (can't remember where 
I read this either)
6) Renko charts (#772)
7) Lines - more choices in line thickness, plus "dashed" option (# 142, 
411, 512)
8) Zooming on window re-size - ability to retain fixed *scaling* when 
windows are maximised/restored instead of displaying a fixed number of 
bars and adjusting the scaling (i.e. similar to how E-signal charting 
handles it) (#555)
9) Click and drag scrolling via chart window (place mouse in blank chart 
area and hold down LMB to drag window - again as per E-signal). (#540)
10) Cross-hairs - a saveable preference for all windows to avoid Ctr-H 
at each program launch. (#158, #885)
11) Cross-hairs 2 - display date/time and price on axes at ends of 
cross-hairs (#732)
11) Action-Reaction Lines. (#149 - listed as postponed)
12) Floating charts (#165 listed as planned in June last year)
13) 'Nudge' studies with arrow keys (#542)
14) Ellipse tool improvement (#768)

Thanks for listening,

Andy
