Hello Tomasz,
One thing I would like to see is the inclusion of allowing us to
limit the chart to within a +/- of a specified percentage from the top
and bottom and making it global if we desired. This would allow our
charts to look very similar to each other without having to do each
chart separately. Also, being able to increase/decrease the length and
or width of the candles which at present is do able but must be
changed for each subsequent chart that is drawn.
The most significant change that has been made for me was when you
allowed the user to customize the layout of the toolbar and chart
look. It would be wonderful if you could continue along the lines you
started with allowing more customization regarding chart information
layout ie.reducing the space for price information. I hope these
suggestions will give you an idea or two that you find useful. I, too,
am impressed with AB and how stable it is. I also use MultiChart and
find it quite buggy and lacking in some very basic options. Please
continue to listen to your clients on improvements to AB. We
appreciate such willingness.
Kindest regards,
Tim
