Subject: [amibroker] Finding
Information
For me, the greatest advance that AB could make
is to enable me to use what I have. I know of no other program that
offers even close to the possibilities of AB yet often even the simplest
things consume a large amount of time to solve. For example, the tooltip
is displaying a lot of information that is not really needed. No
problem, I type in "tooltip" in the "help" search and get the following under
preferences:
Price data tooltips
if checked small tooltips will appear
when you hover over the chart displaying selected bar date, prices / indicator
values
That is exactly what I want but it doesn't
work. Somewhere there is another "modifying" command that will not allow
me to see the Open and Close prices, but where? This then is the start
of hours of searching - or the initiation of this e-mail to the forum for
help. Will I get a comment such as "Read the documentation
stupid."?
Again, the single greatest advance to AB would be
to simply be able to use what we already have, not some new programming with
inadequate and dispersed documentation. Perhaps Howard would write a
"How To" book on AB.
PS - Would also appreciate help with the tooltips
thing.
