It sounds like you searched with AB's
Help which has the limitation that you noticed. If you use a pdf
reader and the Users Guide partial search strings like roundlot will
find everything. Saves a lot of time.

Re: [amibroker] Settings frustration
Thank you Ara.
My specific mistake was that I searched help for "roundlot" instead of
"roundlotsize".
However, my GENERAL frustration is that the possible settings are not
all together in one place. That one place should probably be a massive
"settings.afl". Guess I should put it on my "to do" list.
BTW, anyone
know if there is a setting to "Limit trade size as % of
entry bar volume"
programmatically, other than to code it longhand?

[amibroker] Settings frustration
I'm forever having trouble with settings in AA, because I don't want
the same settings for all my AFL formulas. Some of the settings can be
overridden by "SetOption()". For example "SetOption("MinShares", 1);" in AFL code will
override "Min. shares:" in AA Settings. However, as far as I know
there is no way to override the AA setting "Round lot size:" in AFL
code.
Also, some settings can be overridden with a simple statement such as "SetTradeDelays(1,1,1,1);" No
SetOption() required.
If I had my druthers, which I don't, there would be NO settings
in AA, only in AFL.
Second choice: Has anyone made a simple but complete table of all the
settings: AA, simple statement, and SetOption to help reduce my
frustration? If so, would they be so kind as to post it somewhere:
Yahoo form, files section, or UKB, wherever.
TIA.
