Bruce,
What's strange is, when I change code in my main AFL file (which is
'insert linked' into my charts) in NotePad++, and then save that code,
the changes don't seem to be reflected in my charts no matter what I
do.... even if I hit f5, wait for new bars, click into the charts
etc..etc...
What's even stranger is, if I then click 'edit formula' via the charts
bringing up the AB editor, I can see the change I made in NotePad++
relfected there... So I know the change is being saved to the file.
Very strange... any ideas...?
