Re: [amibroker] Re: Indicator parameters reset themselves randomly

I ran into this problem years ago.  I had many parameters and edited  
them a lot while developing my system.  About 10% of the times I would  
apply an edit, ALL my parameters would be reset as if I had clicked on  
the "Reset all" button in the parameters window.  I believe it was  
more likely to happen if I had edited a parameter statement.

It was such a problem for my systems development that I went on quite  
a long detour to develop the Flexible Parameters system that ended  
that problem and created a lot of other advantages to the type of  
indicator only system I was developing so that I could continue my work.

I will release this for everyone after I have had more beta testing.   
It works fine for indicator mode now.  However, I can use more beta  
testers who can help with testing other modes since I don't use any  
other modes myself.

PS. I still use the simple built-in parameters for simple programs  
where I don't have many parameters and don't care if I lose my  
settings every once in a great while (I back up daily).  I rarely see  
a problem with simple programs resetting parameters after an edit.

Best regards,
Dennis
