[amibroker] Parameters via context menu vs. Parameters via AutoAnalysis dialog

["wml67" <ywml@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Sorry if it has been discussed already - I honestly tried, but haven't found any traces.

I have a formula with a trading system which also plots ~~~EQUITY. It uses several parameters such as number of periods for MA etc which obviously affect both the backtest results and the shapes of various curves in different panes (passing the values via StaticVars). My idea was to be able to analyse my strategy visually, studying my custom indicator curves with trading arrows etc, and examine the backtest results at the same time. 

I expected that right clicking the pane with underlying formula A and choosing Parameters is essentially the same as opening Automatic Analysis dialog for formula A and clicking Parameters. But it's not the case, unless I'm missing something fundamental.

They do look the same. When I add or delete parameters in the formula, both abovementioned parameter list change accordingly. But when I change a parameter from Analysis dialog it does not automatically change in the pane's context menu, and vice versa. In practice it leads to "wiggling" charts. Say, I change a parameter from Analysis dialog and click Backtest. The formula is run, the results are produced and the charts that use this parameter visually change. This is to be expected. But then I click on the chart, the formula is run again,  but this time it picks parameters from the pane's context menu, which are unchanged, and the chart wiggles back. Therefore I need to change parameters in two places, otherwise either my backtest data or visual representation of the strategy is off.

If anyone has an idea what I might be doing wrong, please share. Or any ideas how to overcome this. 

I'm using v5.20.
