Hello Valueinsights, Mass usage software like Amibroker have vast feature sets, not all of which are used by all the users. Some users may be using some features extensively, while some other users might be using some other fetures more extensively.
Since, your post asks many things and there may not be many users who could answer ALL the things, may be your post might be going unanswerred. (Just my view). So, having a few questions a post might help! 1. I think the data might be overwritten (Please consult ASCII Import in manual) 4. AUX1 and AUX2 can have wonderful opportunities. They were recently introduced in the programme. The functionality of the fields seems yet to be fully implemented. Then, they may do what you are looking for. 5. As per my experiences, it might be possible to implement what you are looking for if you write ONE AFL with all the strategies and then conditionally call various segments of the code for different symbols.
