Tomasz, Compliments on your rethink on QuickAFL.
(I haven't tried it yet but I'll take your word for it and assume Fred is only having teething issues). I wasn't excited when you released the CMA-ES optimizer since I am not an optimizer, or a mathematician (elegant algorthims don't necessarily turn me on, only elegant solutions to worthwhile problems). All is not lost, however, since I do acknowledge it CMA-ES a pragmatic solution. On the other hand, I am excited about the 'new' QuickAFL on two counts. First, a few of us prodded you about this, via the forum, and we didn't use a sledge hammer, so you get top marks for observation, understanding and responsiveness. Secondly, illogic always demands a solution and the 'hung' status of QuickAFL and the Range settingsNOT in AA were annoying illogicalities. In my book, 10/10 for smoothing the logical construct. Many aspects of the underpinning logic of AB are very frustrating for me and I have to try not to let that spill over into other arenas, which involves a lot of lip bighting on my part, but your recent work forbodes very well for the future. I have been waiting for this. While age diminishes our intellectual capacities, in some minor ways, it adds a breadth and depth that we can't achieve in our youth. Welcome to the club! Once again - thank you so much - EXCELLENT WORK. brian_z --- In [email protected], "Tomasz Janeczko" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hello, > > AmiBroker 5.14.0 BETA is released now: > http://www.amibroker.com/devlog/2008/07/04/amibroker-5140-beta- released/ > > CHANGES IN VERSION 5.14.0 (as compared to 5.13.0): > > 1.. added support for Quarterly and Yearly intervals in all parts of the program > 2.. Changes to drawing made in v5.13 caused improper drawing lines located PAST the last available quote (trendlines and pitchforks) when timestamping method was "START TIME of interval". This is fixed now. > 3.. Fixed AddSummaryRows so 'onlycols' parameter default (zero) is applied properly > 4.. Implemeted "Select all" via Ctrl-A keyboard shortcut for all list (result list in AA for example) > 5.. Mouse cursor shape (moving/sizing) reflects the selected study priority when more than one study exists under mouse position > 6.. new multiple Volume At Price charts at user-defined points via new PlotVolumeOverlayA function > 7.. QuickAFL can now be used in Automatic Analysis (Settings: General: "Use QuickAFL" - check this box) - this can speed up explorations, scans and backtests by factor of 2+ if range is less than "all quotations". More on this: http://www.amibroker.com/kb/quickafl > 8.. Range Bars compression now uses TickSize as "1R step". TickSize defined in the Symbol Information, if its value is zero, then 1R would be equivalent to 0.01 movement (for backward compat) > 9.. selecting date in multiple linked charts is now faster because redraw is not made when selected line in higher compressed interval remains in place > 10.. selector line in linked charts works OK now, regardless of selected time compression timestamping method > 11.. SetBarsRequired accepts now values -2 in special meaning: reference ALL bars > 12.. Sometimes progress bar did not show the name of optimization engine used. Now it is fixed > 13.. Status("ActionEx") provides more codes than Status("action") to detect special executions states > 14.. Streaming chart update could stall if trend line handle was clicked in attempt to resize and released in the very same position (without moving the mouse). Now it is fixed. > 15.. TimeFrameMode() now supports mode == 4 - which expresses RANGE bars in TickSize units (as opposed to mode 3 that uses dollars for backward compatiblity) > 16.. when display chart timing option is turned on and RT stream is active the application STATUS BAR now displays TOTAL time for all charts, it should be BELOW 1 second for RT trading > > Best regards, > Tomasz Janeczko > amibroker.com >
