Re: [amibroker] Re: Multiple string constants in switch() case statement

["Tomasz Janeczko" <groups@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Why don't you just use the EDIT fields
in the View->Information window.

There are fields that allow you to enter point value, ticksize
and margin deposit on per-symbol basis
and you don't need to code it at all!
