Fun with Pipe. :sweat_smile: I wrote a test C# console app to test the IPC "Pipe" and messaging. So far so good, however I could not get the "plot trend line" to work. Strangely, after trying to, afterwards, if I right clicked on the chart, "Delete All Studies" was available, as if it had been p…

Hi Sean, Very interesting! But to be honest, I am quite lost when it comes to this new feature. I use Tick Databases and my Trading Chart will have the "OLE Focus". So when I open my 2nd instance of Amibroker, also a tick database, to look at the recent historical data that my 5 Million ticks Trad…

[image] BJW: I guess I have to set up a Pipe Server you don't need to set up a pipe server, that is done by AB when it starts for each of its instance. which language/script do you use externally? There are 2 ways to interact with the pipe, one is quick write-directional way to send a requ…

[image] Sean: Strangely, after trying to, afterwards, if I right clicked on the chart, "Delete All Studies" was available, as if it had been plotted by the pipe message, but I couldn't see it on the chart The trendline could be there but at the coords that are wrong (outside visible chart are…

I purposely choose 2 dates of recent swing lows, months months apart (I was looking at), I even tried different symbols, layers and databases. I even instituted a timer, so I could make AB and the chart the active window and not the console window. Also tried refresh in AB, different color lines e…

Look at this video: [image] Next release (AmiBroker 7.20) news thread News The following is a preliminary demonstration of how an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server allows an LLM to communicate directly with AmiBroker. MCP is an open protocol that gives an AI…

Yeah, I toggled all layers on and off, the default and intra-day layers being enabled to start with. Nothing, I even tried your "Price (all in one)" basic chart formula, in case it was my charting formula script code. Let me look to see if I can use AFL to get the coordinates of whatever was added…

Hi nsm51, That sound good- no need to setup any pipe server! I guess in my case I could use the quick method since I am only importing files with tick data. Now I use: AB = CreateObject( "Broker.Application" ); and AB.import( 0, file, "TickData.format" ); But can, as we know, only be used on the …

First and foremost there is absolutely ZERO difference in speed when you import via OLE vs pipe. It makes absolutely no sense to change your existing workflow if you are just importing data. Examples are there already. From C# you just call CallNamedPipe like in CPP example: [image] …

[image] BJW: Now I use: I know you wrote something about 2nd instance above. If you have one instance, continue using ole. you still didnt mention where you use it? is it batch script/python or some other language?

Hi nsm51, I need to import tick data to my 2nd intsnace of the AB. The OLE is in my AFL code and it works great for many years. So I have to use another coding language for the Pipes import solution? Thanks and Regards, Jorgen

Look at this video:

This is literally LLM drawing support and resistance lines

Important: Make sure that default layer is visible.
