Hi Dave,

Thanks very much for your imput.

Maybe it is my eccentricity but I like to see the weekly and daily side by side. Yes I did work with layers. But like I said I am not able to get a good visual grasp if I move between layers. I will admit to being guilty of sheer laziness because I could mark the relevant layer on the study I plot when I plot it and make it relevant to the timeframe of the window in question and that would very well resolve the issue quite nicely.

Thanks for making the effort to point this out to me.


Best Regards

Hi Rakesh,
 
Have you thought about the use of "layers"?  I am attaching two pictures of a layout that consists of a daily chart on top of a weekly chart.  In the bottom chart I laid down a horizontal line and it appeared in the upper (daily) chart as you indicated it would.
 
But then I went back and applied that horizontal line to a "weekly" layer instead of to the default layer and presto - the line disappeared from the upper (daily) chart.
 
Could this accomplish what you wish?

Hello


1. The setting up of layouts..repeat layouts and not watch lists and scrolling through them is very clumsy in AB. One has to individually load individual layouts by clicking on them-simply using arrow keys to scroll up/down the layout list wont load them. I am open to correction here so please correct me if I am wrong.

2. This is the bit that no one has commented upon but I believe has relevance to use of layouts. If I create a layout with two windows -  one a wekly chart and the other a daily chart of the same issue, the use of studies is illogical. Let me elaborate this. The pivots that one would find significant on the weekly shall not necessarily be the ones, one would like to use on the daily and vice-versa. However when a study is plotted on either of the two component windows of the layout it also gets plotted on the other where it may not be relevant to the time frame used in the window.

Hope someone will look into it.

Regards

Tomasz,

 

If I would have made myself clearer,  and not as cryptic,  I should have said that the only thing TC2005 has going for itself as far as I am concerned is that one can scroll through charts fast.  NO way did I say faster than AB.  So if you ONLY want to scroll through charts then TC2005 would be better for you since the person would not be using anything else that AB has to offer.  Since everything in AB as far as I know of is superior to TC2005.   The program would be over their heads and confusing to them.    There would be no need for the tremendous power that AB has to offer,  and would be better off with TC2005 if they just wanted to scroll through charts and look at them visually.

 

Just my opinion of course

Hello,

> If you are looking for charts that you can flip through fast and take a peek at each one then AB is not for you

That's the most ridiculous statement I heard recently. Do you know that you can scroll through charts in
AB FASTER than in ANY other software product. Pick a watch list from symbol tree and just press CURSOR DOWN
key and voila - next chart.
That's simple ! and much faster than in TC2005 (you can scroll at least twenty times faster in AmiBroker)

I have used TC2005, VV, TradeStation Fastrack, and AB

My conclusion is they all offer different solutions to different problems one is looking to solve with a charting software package.

If you are looking for charts that you can flip through fast and take a peek at each one then AB is not for you and TC2005 is more
your speed.
If you are looking for a Software package where there are numerous black box scans then VV is for you
If you are wanting a Software package that allows you to backtest, EOD data, and numerous signals that you can produce then FT is
more for you
If you are wanting a flexible software platform for backtesting-Out of Sample, and the ability to chart anything you can imagine
then AB would for you

The above is just a small example I worked with each one for about a year and no longer use TC2005 , TradeStation, or VV

Then again that is me everyone is different and if we were not then there would not be so many options for us

Thanks, for the replies. I tried a trial to VectorVest Protrader and
that was too slow. I want something as fast as TC2000. I'll wait on
Amibroker if it isn't as easy as TC2000. Maybe a future update will
help.
