RE: [trading] [amibroker] Starting AB with different data bases

["Herman van den Bergen" <psytek@xxxxxxxx>]

It is not just the icon, renaming these would be good enough for me.

 

I want to start each instance of AmiBroker with a different database, each instance has a different purpose, and right now after each startup i have to selected a different data base. i suppose what i need is to be able to specify the dataSource (as in preferences) on the command line...I think i must be doing something dumb or am missing ... time to read the Help once more :-)

 

I suppose i could create separate directories/folders for different AmiBroker DataBases, that way everything would be specific to the DB used.Then make separate icons for each... In preferences i could specify where the afl files are located, those folders could be independent of the regular AmiBroker folders... that should work just 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...

To clarify, rightclick choose "Properties" then "Change Icon". You can select an exe or dll to browse for new icons. Not all contain icons though.

Create a new AB shortcut on your desktop, then right click & choose "Change Icon" Icons are usually stored in the exe or a .dll. You can browse Esignal, etc for icons, or choose from default Windows icons, or even create your own using an icon editor.

Hello,

 

would anybody know how to create different icons on the DeskTop that start AB with different databases? I would like a 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.

 

thanks for any ideas!

herman.
