hi,
I think it is best to consult the manual. However,
I have an additional remark / question on this. I have been having
problems with layouts all along.
1) For instance I have a layout I call "auto". I
add something to "auto" then save it and when I open it the next day in some
occasions there is some other program in one of the lower tab
windows.
2) Sometimes I add a program to a lower
tab, then save the layout. The next day I open this layout and the chart is
blanc, it can not find the code underneath.
Sometimes this happens, sometimes it doesn't. Just
wonder if anyone else has this problem or if I am doing something wrong. But
what can one do wrong? You create a new layout, save the layout when you
change something and still I get inconsistant behaviour.
Could it be because I run 2 instances (or sometimes
3) of Amibroker on 1 computer using different databases and that this messes up
the layouts?
thanks, Ed

I
installed the Pro version yesterday using the IB data feed. I went through
several of the tutorials and got a decent start on a dozen symbols and an
hourly chart layout I liked on one tab in 3 panes on Sheet 1. I reduced
the number of default sheets from 8 to 4.
This morning when I opened AB, I had a whole different view. My
candle sticks have been replaced by close only line chart and a bunch of tabs
have been added for variations which I don't need or care about. Further,
indicators I don't want have been applied to Sheets 2 through
4.
Problems/questions:
- How do I restore my layout and keep it that way when I reopen
it?
- I
can not find a way (menu or pop-up menu) to alter/restore the chart
properties including something as basic as the chart style. The properties
item on the pop-up menu is grayed out and charting preferences do not let me
set the chart style.
- How do I remove tabs I don't want and add new tabs I do
want?
- I
can't seem to display all of the data collected. For example, 6CU7 (Canadian
Dollar) shows 7952 data bars retrieved. My IB database is set to 10,000 bars
of base time interval 5 minutes. At 288 bars per 24 hours, I should
have 27 trading days (over a full month) of data. However zooming out
on hourly or daily bars displays nothing further back than June 26 which is
fewer than 6 trading days. How do I get to view all of the
data?
Thank you.
