Hi,
I have had the same problem too. I set up separate layouts for
different markets with different systems and indicators. I name each
layout and label every tab. Because I have a a couple of different
sets of data for each market I have been using Global Layouts so that
I can access them from any database. Whatever I do my layouts are
changing and messing up.
I don't expect to change a layout once I have set it up, but I find
that I have to recreate them quite often. There doesn't seem to be
much of help in the documentation about this. Sometimes a whole
different set of charts will appear in a layout and I don't know how
it happens. If I knew what do do to ensure stability then I would be
happy to do it.
Sometimes I have 2 instances of Amibroker running, but I worry about
this causing problems so in the 2nd instance I only look at charts
and don't change things that are being accessed in the other one.
When closing it autosaves, so I wonder if that could be part of the
problem?
Cheers,
Arthur

clicked on the Local Layout "auto" which is part of my Interactive
Brokers data base. In the lower tabs I have 5 panes with different
charts underneath them. One of the charts carried this morning a
program (afl code) that I wrote the day before but was part of a
different database (Quotes Plus database) in which I use different
Local Layouts. The local layouts for the various databases I use have
different names.

writing and inserting in another database however I was running 2
instances of Amibroker on 1 computer. So I think something might go
wrong here .. (?)

Very simple formula. Something like underneath. So without any
Params :

all kinds of parameters coming from a different formula. Therefore I
checked the above formula again and found no Params. This is not the
first time and frankly I accept it as one of the typical software
bugs (?) that should not exist but are just there. I can live with
it. As long as the software gives me what I want it to do ... My
experience over the last 25 year with MicroSoft software showed me
that bugs are just part of the game ...

what can one do wrong? You create a new layout, save the layout when

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.

My candle sticks have been replaced by close only line chart and a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.

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.

want?
> d.. 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?
