A couple of things I have been wanting for years that have not made it into
AB yet -
1. Ability to use the Equity() line as feedback when trading NDO. The value
of the current bar's equity changes when new data is downloaded and it
becomes the next-to-last bar, causing signals to disappear or appear a day
late. Would require a tweak to the Equity() function I guess...
2. Ability to do individual opts on a watchlist and then be able to *sort by
ticker* I have added a seperate column ( via CBT ) for only the ticker
symbol but it won't sort when I click on the header..
I will just mention them once a year or so until TJ runs out of other things
to do... 8 - )
