hi, Your version 4.90.5 does not have this functionality yet. According to the release notes it is available since CHANGES FOR VERSION 4.96.0 (as compared to 4.95.0)
It is certainly available in the latest official release 5.0 . You can just upgrade your Amibroker 4.9 to 5.0. I believe 5 upgrades are for free. see: http://www.amibroker.com/download.html and for the latest beta: http://www.amibroker.com/devlog/ If you do not want to upgrade to 5.0 you could download the beta 4.96 and then the functionality should be available. rgds, Ed ----- Original Message ----- From: holygrail168 To: [email protected] Sent: Monday, October 29, 2007 11:22 AM Subject: [amibroker] Re: pyramid trading hi ed, thanks for your response. I'm using amibroker version 4.90.5 professional edition. i don't think it has that function built in which is quite strange because on the web it mentions that functionality is only available in AFL 3.0 how do we check which version of AFL we have?
