Looks like the counting logic has a flaw. Compared to StockCharts, the number
of X & O varies from being the same to off by one or more. For example, take a
look at the last five or so columns for $XAU.

Yes, the Grid is a bit weird. I have tried to fix this backward parameter
with no success, so I just live with it.

Subject: [amibroker] Re: great p&f chart
I think this code is almost great - my issue with it is that the grid
appears or disappears depending on where I click on the chart. This
is with the show grid setting to "no" in the parameters (I'm also not
sure why the parameter would be "no" to show the grid and "yes" to not
show the grid.
Anybody have a way around this?
