Seede,
I had to put this aside for a while. I am in the middle of rewriting
the whole Parameters window UI in AFL for my system. I also added
auto selecting volume bar charts and range bar charts, but in the
process I found out that the manual trades AFL below does not work
with my new charts. I do not understand what the problem is yet.
ATC is writing them but foreign reads them as null. It may be just
related to the latest betas. I will have to look again later.
However, I am planning on using the principles of the manual trades
for a number of purposes --including better trend line studies that
would auto snap to a local peak or valley tagged to the database
timeframe and extend a limited distance. All things I have
requested, but I need them now and can't wait forever --I only hope I
can figure out how to do it.
I would like to hear about your ideas also.
Dennis
