[amibroker] AB's Nightmare

Hello,

A weird thing drive me crazy.

Take a simple two MA's crossover system.

Two param periods such as Param("pds1",7,2,120,1);

You play between param and optimize with alternate \\ to activate one
then the other. Or even only with paramoptimize.

Every time you press on the Display Indicator icon, colors of the plot
are not updated, you lose confidence in update power of the display
indicator button.
Or you kill the pane, you reload.
Or you use Insert Indicator (plot colors are not updated) and you
believe that the whole formula is reloaded.
That is true for the graphic.

Change the default period value in the formula and the first pane
parameters gives the old default values as expected, pds1 and pds2.
The second pane parameters gives the new default values as expected.

Open AA from the formula editor ( with Exclamation mark icone), the
active formula is loaded and reloaded.

Run BT and the arrows plot exotical points that are not following the
trading rules.
The AA trading list announce extra trades. You try to understand what
exrem does. You give up.

You are a newbie, the mistake commes from you, not from AB. You can't
explain the issue and it's a so minor problem that nobody can be
interrested in.

The nightmare begin. For weeks... Bye bye trading, you are a
programmer my son.

The solution :

In AA, click on Paremeter button and you see Old periods values with
the slider. No ! You have reloaded the whole formula. 
You right click into the last pane. You see new periods values with
the slider. Whaoo.
Which one  is active ? 
Both, one in AA, the other one in the graph.

To really update AA you have to press the Pick Button and reload the
formula into AA.

It's the end of the nightmare. I would have appreciated that the
simple apply indicator activation could update the AA formula or at
least the Insert Indicator activation.

I don't know yet if it's a bug or a feature, but probably many users
believe to modify their formula and they are running the same
parameters again and again.

Let's comme back to trading.

Regards
