Re: [amibroker] Re: Help fixing ReqLotSize Setting

 

Hello,

Thank you very much for your e-mail.

reqLotSize is a short from "requested round lot size", "reqentryprice" and "reqentrypossize"
are short form requested entry price, requested entry position size.

Please note that screen real estate is limited and using fully spelled out names for everything
would mean a lot of scrolling in Analysis detailed log.

In real world programs that must live on your computer screen
there are other considerations than in "cookbooks".

Best regards,
Tomasz Janeczko

and TJ (and anyone else involved in the design, testing, implementation, or documentation of hardware, software, or cookbooks) please take note:
When referring to any given entity, use one and only one way to refer to that entity.  If however you insist on using more than one, than explain so, at least once, where ever you use either one.

Example: The term 'ReqLotSize' is not used in either the AB Help (F1) or in the pdf file, Amibroker 6.00 User's Guide, downloadable from the AmiBroker.com.  Saving only two letters by replacing the word 'round' by 'req' in the message resulted in much wasted time and effort going into scwalker's unsuccessful debugging effort and the composition and reading of seventeen yahoo postings, including this one.

If 'reqlotsize' were a keyword in AB, it would, more than likely, be automatically capitalized and in bold like RoundLotSize, by the AB Editor. 

Also 'reqentryprice' and 'reqentrypossize', as well.

Why cookbooks:  An abbreviation such as tsp. (teaspoon) or gal. (gallon) noted as such.  And if you want it to be understood in a more advanced country (that uses metric only) there are differences between US (United States) and UK (Imperial) measurements.

Tomasz,  A belated thank you again; the RoundLotSize = 0 solves it.   My searching the documentation missed that.

Thanks also to Norgate team for excellent customer service.
Scott
