usability improvement: even when "return to select mode after drawing"
is ON, you can draw mutliple studies one after another quickly if you hold
down CTRL key while releasing the button.
usability improvement: you can now draw objects with OR without holding
left mouse button pressed while drawing.
drawing object is now automatically selected when "return to selectmode
after drawing" is ON and "auto-select last drawn object" is also ON. This
makes it easier to delete/copy/cut or see its properties (Alt+Enter)
immediatelly.
#include can now be written also in upper case

fixed bug with date axis display that appeared in 4.15.0
fixed problem with moving/sizing objects when multiple windows wereopen
removed "Move/Size" toolbar button:now editing/moving/sizing is

- right after drawing any object it is available for moving/sizing/deletion.
CHANGES FOR VERSION
4.15.0 (as compared to 4.14.0)
moving and sizing of drawing objects (see new "Move/Size" button indraw
tool bar)
cut/copy/paste/delete of drawing objects (Edit menu and standard
shortcuts, need to mark object first in Move/Size mode)
blank space in the right-hand side of the chart for drawing future trend
line projections
moved charting related preferences setting to new tab "Charting"
new setting for number of blank bars in right margin (Charting tab)
CHANGES FOR VERSION
4.14.0 (as compared to 4.13.1)
fixed problem with creating new databases that occurred on certain
MSVCRT versions
styleOwnScale adjusts Base level for histogram and area style back to
minvalue or zero whichever is less
Plot, PlotOHLC and PlotForeign have 2 additional parameters for
specifying fixed minimum and maximum values for Y-axisNote that new
parameters work only when styleOwnScale is used:Plot( array, title,
color, min = {empty}, max = {empty} )PlotOHLC( open,
high, low, close, title, color, min= {empty}, max =
{empty} )PlotForeign( ticker, title, color, min=
{empty}, max = {empty} )New parameters make it easy to plot ribbons,
for example:
Plot( Close, "Price", colorBlue, styleCandle );Plot( 2, /*
defines the height of the ribbon in percent of pane width
*/"Ribbon",IIf( up, colorGreen, IIf( down, colorRed, 0 )), /* choose
color */styleOwnScale|styleArea|styleNoLabel, -0.5, 100 );
It also makes it easy to plot 2 or more "own scale" plots with the same
scaling:
minimum = LastValue( Lowest( Volume ) );maximum = LastValue(
Highest( Volume ) );
Plot( Close, "Price", colorBlue, styleCandle );
/* two plots below use OwnScale but the scale is common because we
set min and max values of Y axis */Plot( Volume, "Volume", colorGreen,
styleHistogram | styleThick | styleOwnScale, minimum, maximum );Plot(
MA( Volume, 15 ), "MA volume", colorRed, styleLine | styleOwnScale, minimum,
maximum );
fixed date axis display for custom intraday intervals longer than 60
minutes
"dirty" flag is set properly now during ASCII import in $OVERWRITE 1
mode (solves import watch list problem)
when switching layouts ticker bar selection is now synchronized with
active window
after AA->Scan Foreign symbol cache is flushed
now styleLeftAxisScale really allows modification of built-in price
chart to feature moving average of volume// Now plot volume and
its moving average using left-hand axis scalingPlot( Volume , "Volume",
colorBlue, styleLeftAxisScale | styleHistogram | styleThick | styleNoLabel
);Plot( MA( Volume,15), "MAV", colorLightBlue, styleLeftAxisScale |
styleNoLabel );
ASCII importer and Import Wizard now allows to import negative prices
(useful for spreads). New command is $ALLOWNEG 1 and new check box in Import
Wizard is "allow negative prices". Please note that logarithmic scale can
NOT be used to display negative prices because log() function is undefined
for negative values.
four new AFL functions:
LinRegIntercept( ARRAY, periods )- calculates intercept of linear
regression line the "a" coefficientin a + b*x (LinRegSlope calculates
b)
LinearReg( ARRAY, periods )- calculates linear regression line ending
value according toa + b * x (where a and b are intercept and slope of
linear regression line)
StdErr( ARRAY, periods )- calculates standard error function (standard
error of linear regression estimate) - the same as MS' STE function
TSF( ARRAY, periods ) - calculates time series forecast indicator
(similar to LinearReg but differs bythe value of lin reg
slope)
CHANGES FOR VERSION
4.13.1 (as compared to 4.13.0)
F4 key for Edit | GoToSymbol works again and can be redefined in the
shortcut editor
new style: styleLeftAxisScale = 65536 - allows to plot more than one
graph using common scaling but different from regular (right axis)
scale.Example: price plot plus volume and moving average plot:
// Plot price plot and its moving averagePlot( Close, "Price",
colorWhite, styleCandle );Plot( MA( Close, 20 ), "MAC", colorRed
);
// Now plot volume and its moving average using left-hand axis
scalingPlot( Volume , "Volume", colorBlue, styleLeftAxisScale |
styleHistogram | styleThick );Plot( MA( Volume,15), "MAV",
colorLightBlue, styleLeftAxisScale );
(in one of the future betas you will be able to display ruler for
left-hand axis)
CHANGES FOR VERSION
4.13.0 (as compared to 4.12.0)
fixed bug with loading layouts for stocks that have spaces in the ticker
symbol
new pre-defined shortcut keys: Alt+Left = Next symbol, Alt+Right = Prev
symbol,Ctrl+NumPadPLUS = Zoom In, Ctrl+NumPadMINUS = Zoom
Out,Ctrl+PageUp = Prev Sheet, Ctrl+PageDown = Next Sheet
new keyboard shortcut editor in Tools->Preferences->Keyboard allow
user-definable keyboard shortcuts
fixed display bug in Preferences->Intraday that caused rounding to
full hours custom bar intervals of more than 60 minutes
Layouts->Save As does not generate duplicate entries in the treewhen
already existing name is typed in (it was harmless but still not nice)
A confirmation box is displayed when choosing Edit->Delete session
fixed problem with incorrect interval shown in the settings sectionof
the report when hourly periodicity was selected
new style: styleOwnScale = 32768 allows plotting graphs with independent
scalling (like volume graph on price plot)
implemented PlotForeign("ticker", "title", color, |
styleOwnScale )
implemented PlotOHLC( open, high, low, close, "title", color, | styleOwnScale ) that allows plotting candlesticks/bars from
other arrays without need to overwrite existing OHL arrays.
CHANGES FOR VERSION
4.12.0 (as compared to 4.10.3)
color coded and multi-line caption bars in indicatorscolors are
selected automatically when using Plot() function or graphNcolor
variable.If you use Title variable you have to specify colors in the
string.Colors can be specified using \\cXX sequence where XX is 2 digit
number specifying color index \\c38 - defines violet, there is a special
sequence \\c-1 that resets to default axis color. For example
Title = "This is written in \\c38violet color \\c27and this in
green";You can also use new AFL function that makes it easier.
Function is calledEncodeColor( colornumber ).And you can write the
above example like this:Title = "This is written in " + EncodeColor(
colorViolet ) + "violet color " + EncodeColor( colorGreen ) + "and thisin
green"; Multi-line caption is possible by simply embedding line
break \n, for example:Title = "This is 1st line\nThis is second
line";
new layout handling code:
you can now have unlimited number of custom, multiple-window
templates that can be switched between with just double click on layout
name in the "Layouts" tab of the Workspace window
you can open/save/delete layout by clicking on the Layout tree with
right mouse button and choosing appropriate function. "Save As" option
saves current layout under new name.
Local layouts are per-database while Global layouts are visible from
all databases.
information saved in layouts include: window sizes and postions,
maximized/minimized state chart panes available on each sheet (independent
for each window), selected bar interval, selected symbol, selected chart
sheet
Most recently used layout can be saved on exit and database switch
automatically (see: Tools->Prefs->Miscellaneous "Save on exit:
Layouts")
CCIa( array, period ) function added - works like CCI but accepts input
array instead of working on (C+H+L)/3
implemented a *very* basic pre-processor with single command #include
that allows to include external AFL files into your formula.
Syntax:#include "path\to my file\name path.afl"Note 1: include
statement need SINGLE backslashes in the path (this is quite the opposite to
normal AFL stingparsing)Note 2: using #include command may slowdown
formula execution evenconsidering the fact that AmiBroker tries to
include only once and cache pre-processed textNote 3: that currently no
error message is given if #include fails and this codeis
experimental.Note 4: nesting #include commands is not supported
balloon tooltips for status bar
color-coded plugin status pane in the status bar, plus pop-up balloon
notifications when connection state changes
ability to link custom menu to the plugin status pane - new QT plugin
(beta) provides Connect/Shutdown options thru such menu.
data plugins receive UNLOAD notification correctly
you can sort columns in Quotation Editor by click on column header
layout of Quick Review window changed to allow smaller window size.
