Well, if I close the application it will save the drawings. It's just I'd rather have like a 'save state' type button for easy access. But I suppose I'll just have to close it, then open it again just to make sure it doesn't lose all my drawings in the morning.

Thanks, but that's studies and not drawings. I mean, like fiblines, trendlines, pricelines, text, rectangles, etc. There is a "set drawing set" option, but that only seems to save the selected chart and not all the drawings on all the charts. I guess there's just no other way to do it other...

I put drawings on the charts, but then the next day when I turn my computer on, they are mysteriously gone. They reverted to the previous drawings. Is there a way to manually save my drawing settings?

eh... I have a reasonable method. I'm just chicken.

Thanks, that's a good way of looking at it. I was mainly asking because it seems unclear where I should put my entry and which chart(bid or ask) I should look at when entering the trade.

How so? Here is a screenshot: http://s8.postimg.org/xiizzqhcl/Untitled_1.jpg I'm told there is no 'last price' in forex.

FXCM is my broker and I'm using Trading Station 2. There are bid/ask buttons. When I switch between them, there are two different candles. One chart shows the bid candles, and the other shows the ask candles. In equities, you have bid/ask as well. But you also have the last price that an...

Anyone? I'm guessing that it's a function of the fact you are buying and selling two non-tangible things at the same time.

Is there a way to just nuke everything? I have all I want backed up. I installed it onto another computer and everything was gone, but only my watchlists remained. Those are the only things I want gone.

Thanks, but I already know how to delete them one at a time. I want to delete them all at once. I have 100s of watchlists, it's just too time consuming to do that hundreds of times.

Best bet is to get Virtual Box or VM Ware and run AmiBroker. I can't comment on how well AmiBroker works in VMWare or VirtualBox, but I use VMWare to host Linux guests on Win7 and it works great.

Why are forex candles made from the offer? As opposed to from trade data? Do some brokers let you see trade data? It seems to me that things like volume of offers/bids is completely meaningless.

Is there anyway to mass delete ToS watchlists? I have hundreds of useless watchlists, and I have backed up the only ones I want to use. The problem is that the only way I can figure to delete watchlists is by ticking the gear symbol>delete and that would just take an absurd amount of time. Is...

I guess the typical dynamic would be more signals but less accurate and more false signals or less signals but more accurate and less false signals. I don't believe this though. I don't think that just because an indicator gives less signals means that those signals are more accurate. I'm...

I was a little skeptical about HFT until I learned more about how it actually worked. It's just another competitor and if you understand their strategies you can use that against them. If you really feel you are losing because of HFT and that the gov't ought to ban it, then you really should...
