[amibroker] Multiple time-frame indicators

Hi: I'm currently working with Amibroker during my free trial period. Since there is obviously a considerable learning curve associated with writing new indicators I decided to start with something that should have been simple. I decided to add a new indicator (a Multiple time-frame MACD) to Amib

The only problem is that you can only select the properties of LAST (or already selected) study. In order to select any other study you have to click on it which unfortunately also moves the study. One possibility would be to be able to select studies with first click (just select item), then you

Hello Group, Is there some way to protect your AFL code? For example, in TradeStation 2000i there are several ways to protect your code so it can't be seen by others, but the code can still be used by others. Is there a similar feature to protect AFL code? Please advise. Thanks, Wave~Trader

Graham is correct. You have to use a chart of the shortest timeframe. If you want to show 5 and 15 minute data you will have to plot it on a 5 minute chart. You cannot plot 5 minute bars on a 15 minute chart. I use something like this so I can switch between charts without having to change the
