Hello, Terry:

On 22-Aug-98, you wrote:

The reason I did this was to have more charts available without
squishing the graphs. A click or two and the wanted indicator
window is on top. I have suggested something to Tomasz to do
this better.

Re: Select and graph window sizes
Currently, you only need six characters for your max ticker length.
If the full company name is used in the future, that is different.

Personally, the indicator windows can't be big enough. ;^)

Wouldn't this require changing the icons? I don't know
how this would be possible without having fly-outs.

What's the advantage? I am missing something here.

If the stick is a doji (all prices equal or almost equal) or a very
small star (very small tails), then the stick colour is not important.
The longer the history, the closer the price is to a line, and
individual bars can't be seen.

Otherwise, if I understand correctly (remember, sticks are only
important over the last 10-12 days max, generally), so this may
help:

If there are many dates shown, reduce them by selecting a date
near the latest date, say about 20 days or less, then click on the
magnifier. The spacing between candles should be enough to
see them clearly; if not, then maybe my glasses work better. ;^)

This is an idea I had for an ARexx script.
Does anyone else want this?

The commands exist now to allow doing it. Unless someone else
beats me to it, I'll have a look at it after my vacation.

Re: best return periods and presidential cycles
There have been numerous studies done, mostly American.
If followed recently, you would have been smiling.

Bye, Terry,
