For the discretionary trader (who uses many arrow marks on charts) the
2 items that are weak are:
1.
Handling of placing a manual arrow on symbol linked volume/tick
charts. In some random way, it shows on some charts but not on others
(until start of next bar)
2.
Lack of (manual) arrow shape(s) that does not mask bars OHLC
information and causes less clutter. (either built in or easily user
defined).

Subject: Re: [amibroker] 'Rule Based' versus 'Discretionary'
trading...
Hello,
Not wanting to hijack this thread but whenever I ask
about some itemized list of what is exactly "weak" in AB charting,
I don't receive any meaningful reply. I would really want to know
some objective list instead of statements I heard on ET that
"charts are ugly" which for me unfortunatelly means nothing,
considering the hunderds of ways charts can be customized
according to user taste in AB.
Best regards,
Tomasz Janeczko
