hi Tomasz,
thanks for your reply. What I experienced again this morning: I start
up Amibroker with my default database: Quotes Plus I named "QP3".
Underneath the 3-rd tab (the lower tab) I find the original code that
is supposed to be there. Additional to that I find an extra chart
below that one that contains code I did not load into the Quotes Plus
data base. It is AFL code I loaded in a separate Interactive Brokers
database called "auto". However in the "auto" database this AFL code
is also in the 3-rd lower tab window.
Amibroker is setup to save the database automatically when I exit
Amibroker. Both databases use different AFL code. On top of that the
names I give to the Local Layouts are different as well. This seems
wrong (?)
I understand that if i would use the same AFL code in different
databases then the same AFL code will appear in the different
databases. But I use different AFL code in different databases saving
them in Local layouts which have different names. Still I find that
AFL code saved in one database appears in another database. This
happens only if I run 2 or more instances of Amibroker using different
databases.
Further what I sometimes see happening is that I load some AFL code in
one of the lower tab windows, exit Amibroker, start up the next day
and the window is blanc. I get a popup window telling me the AFL code
underneath could not be found. I believe this also only happens when I
run multiple instances of Amibroker.
I'd like to show an example chart but my Email server is down again
today so I can send it later.
regards, Ed

Still my layouts get messed up which in my opinion occurs when
multiple instances of Amibroker are used on 1 single computer. AFL
code saved in 1 database appears in a window of another database.

reloaded my afl code. I think it happens when multiple instances are
started at one computer. I think it has been discussed before and I
believe there is a reason for it why it is set up like this. But if
one runs multiple instances it seems that this problems occurs. Good
to know I am not the only one with this problem :)

guide and they are pretty sketchy on some of the basics such as those
about which I asked questions. I have used charting software for 25+-
years now and AB is not at the top of the pack for intuitive use. For
example, I would expect to be able to modify ALL chart properties by
right clicking on the chart and selecting properties or parameters,
however this does not allow setting of many chart properties including
those about which I inquired. The manual and start-up guide is equally
sketchy. Major parts of the user guide do not reflect the current
version of the software. I followed the complete IB data tutorial and
that did not tell me that I have to set additional parameters using
the green connect box in the lower right corner. All of this makes the
getting started process for even an experienced charting software user
rather daunting. That said, there is a good bit to like about AB once
one navigates the quirks.

the charts I want for those symbols I use, I am still having problems
with my layouts not being restored the way I save them. I have learned
to use the local and global layouts, but the fact is that when I
re-start AB it does not restore my workspace to the way I left it and
I find that irritating. At least I can switch to the layout tab,
select my named layout, and restore my charts.

Sheets 2 through 4.

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?
