Hi Tomasz, I thank you and I thank Marcin for great help.
Heres one thing Id find very useful: - The ability to customize the toolbar to have 2 or more Fibonacci-buttons simultaneously with different retracement levels. There are other charting things I could use as well, as well as a possibility to create drawing tools, but I do not want to swarm you with requests since I know you are busy. I hope that allowing for more than one button, each with independent settings, for at least the Fibonacci and Gann tools is not too hard to accomplish.

Hello, Not wanting to hijack this thread but whenever I ask about some itemized list of what is exactly "weak" in AB charting, I don't receive any meaningful reply. I would really want to know some objective list instead of statements I heard on ET that "charts are ugly" which for me unfortunatelly means nothing, considering the hunderds of ways charts can be customized according to user taste in AB.
