It sounds like you searched with AB's Help which has the limitation that you noticed. If you use a pdf reader and the Users Guide partial search strings like roundlot will find everything. Saves a lot of time.

My specific mistake was that I searched help for "roundlot" instead of "roundlotsize". However, my GENERAL frustration is that the possible settings are not all together in one place. That one place should probably be a massive "settings.afl". Guess I should put it on my "to do" list. BTW, anyone know if there is a setting to "Limit trade size as % of entry bar volume" programmatically, other than to code it longhand? -- Keith Ara Kaloustian wrote: RoundLotSize = 5; // Just as shown here .... not a setOption function ----- Original Message ----- From: Keith McCombs To: [email protected] Sent: Friday, September 19, 2008 10:14 PM Subject: [amibroker] Settings frustration I'm forever having trouble with settings in AA, because I don't want the same settings for all my AFL formulas. Some of the settings can be overridden by "SetOption()". For example "SetOption("MinShares", 1);" in AFL code will override "Min. shares:" in AA Settings. However, as far as I know there is no way to override the AA setting "Round lot size:" in AFL code. Also, some settings can be overridden with a simple statement such as "SetTradeDelays(1,1,1,1);" No SetOption() required. If I had my druthers, which I don't, there would be NO settings in AA, only in AFL. Second choice: Has anyone made a simple but complete table of all the settings: AA, simple statement, and SetOption to help reduce my frustration? If so, would they be so kind as to post it somewhere: Yahoo form, files section, or UKB, wherever.
