Hello, The only thing I can think of is that you are trying to use file-system forbidden characters like *?#:|></\"\\ in the watch list name. As long as you use a-z, 0-9 you should be fine.
With regards to screenshot - it is visible if you receive group posts via e-mail. Yahoo unfortunatelly strips it form their web page. Similar screenshot to one that I have sent is included in the manual: http://www.amibroker.com/guide/m_view.html (see Quarterly and Yearly right after weekly and monthly) Best regards, Tomasz Janeczko amibroker.com On 2010-07-28 02:21, triangle702000 wrote: > > > > > I dont know what to say.
