[amibroker] Re: HOW TO PLOT PRICE, MACD, STOCHASTIC ON ONE CHART?

One has to go to each chart to change the parameters for that chart.

The afl is a system so all parameters are needed so that Buy and Sell can be defined.  I can, for example, change the Macd parameters via the top chart but these changes are not reflected in the middle Macd chart.  I have to go to the middle chart, change the Macd parameters and then see the revised Macd chart. 

I really can not put parameters within each 'if' as I need for the system buys and sells.  I guess I will have to live with this.

Thanks for the help as understand another way of doing charts.
