Good Day, thought i would add my two cents. i mentioned this idea
some time ago as a upgrade - a command line thing. i have 3 databases
with as Herman says specific uses ie. eod (yahoo), 5 min eSignal, and
tick, esignal. each has very specific formulas and charts and all are
running at the same time - on three diff monitors. inorder to get
everything going i have to start AB (with default database) switch to
one i want and then position it on a specific monitor. what would be
nice - separate AB icons that recognize diff data bases and as well
screen locations. One click and away i go for each. By the way new
beta fantastic. Congrats.

This greatly increases the time just maintaining everything

great! Thanks guys for making the old neurons click! Talking to the
wall doesn't always work...hmm...now to get the formula tree root
path to work...

You can select an exe or dll to browse for new icons. Not all contain
icons though.

You can browse Esignal, etc for icons, or choose from default Windows
icons, or even create your own using an icon editor.

variety of icons to start of with, for example, IB data, eSignal
data, QP2 data, Tick data, etc. So that on start up they are loaded
with relevant code/Indicators and data base.
