Hello,
At least! - you noticed that everything in AmiBroker is configurable :-) Good.
It is usual experience for new users that they find something "odd" for them but then... surprise - you can change it to suit your
preferences.
As for the plugins - there is a fixed rule for plugins and data imported - the timestamps reported by the plugins must
use "start of interval". So minute data for bar spanning from 09:30:00.000 to 09:30:59.999 should have internal timestamp of
09:30:00. And it is fixed rule for data plugins.
The setting is GLOBAL, and can't be "per-chart" because you would end up with mess trying to compare
for example AA results with indicators or indicators with other indicators.
As for suggestions - they are welcome but... you should familiarize with the program for at least 2 months before
sending your very first suggestion. That avoids suggesting things already existing and things that were suggested already.
Note that there is over than 1000 suggestions already submitted and new suggestions are put on hold status and are unlikely
to be considered for 2+ years, because there are earlier suggestions waiting for implementation.
Best regards,
Tomasz Janeczko
