Amibroker help for you

Hi,
I have enabled marking lables in Preferences for the y-axis of my chart (price axis), so I can see lables for LTP, averages. What I cant see is the Y-axis scale listing all the price levels, either on log or linear scale. Its all blank, except for the LTP and AVg lables.

How do I populate the Y axis with all levels, and also show a label for where the curser/ crosshair is?

thanks

Kazaan

Since I haven got a reply, just thought I would request for help again. Can you?

Tools->Preferences->Colors Tab
Change the color of the axes to something visible on the background colors and Apply. That should work. Maybe the desc is short, just post a msg if you cant follow.

In the unlikely event of it not working, (hope you wont need to do this)
Try double clicking on the y axis area where the cursor changes shape to up/dn resize arrows. Try reset all in parameter dialog (rt click in chart and select parameters).

Thanks TheTrader,

I've solved it.

Parameters--> Axis and Grid--> Show Middlelines--> Yes. This did the job.

best,

Hi there,

I am trying to import some historical tick data for futures and options trades into Amibroker using the ASCII importer. In the $FORMAT line in my default.format file, how do I specify fields that represent:
1) strike price
2) contract expiration date

In other words, is there some format specifier that will tell AB that a particular field in the ASCII data file is the strike price for that options contract and that another field is the contract expiration date ?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

P.S.: Also posted this question on a separate thread but then I saw people getting their Amibroker problems solved on this one :-)

Use import wizard instead of ASCII importer.

you'll need to use it once,to specify the fields.
( & many other import details like... define field separator.... optional display of error log.... allowing negative prices etc.)

create any format file like "rb_trade.format" at the final stage of the wizard & next time, use it directly from ASCII importer.

Hi Omkar,

Thanks for replying. Correct me if I am wrong, but even the Import wizard doesn't have any choices for strike prices and contract expiration dates. The drop-down menus I see contain only the following fields: Ticker, YMD, MDY, DMY, Time, Open, High, Low, Close, Volume, OpenInt, Fullname.

No option for strike prices/expiration date. Am I missing something here ?

Again, thanks for looking into this

Hi Technical Trader and all Amibroker Lovers,
Thanx for starting and sharing ur knowledge in this thread.
I have mistakenly create a format file during importing Intraday data using import wizard and there are 10-12 such format files in my amibroker which produces some errors if I want to use them during data importing.
So I need to delete those format files but I can't as they are still in the dropdown list after deleting.
Please help me to solve this problem.
Thanx in advance.

Hi...I dont trade in derivatives..know nothing about options..but with my experience..I can say that AB can be tweaked more than any other trading soft. if you are not getting the workaround yourself...try to find some option trader who uses AB.
