喔耶！下面這功能應該是我建議的

New Analysis: added Auto-repeat status icon in the right-hand corner of the Info bar (yellow ‘play’ arrow shows up when auto-repeat is active and scheduled for next run)

let apx store AFL parameters
這個suggestion幫我留言衝個人氣，也許就會比較快有，照他們的說法，是架構問題，算比較難改的，但是很不合理，但是其實很重要

會有聖誕檔期特價嗎? XD  

目前試用中，感覺不錯，想買買一套來取代閹割版MC。

AB 很棒
可以規劃自己的策略 並利用歷史資料回測
官方版本唯一的是現在只對 IB下單作完整的整合

AB很好玩，長期下來永遠都是BETA版....很故意.....正式版停在5.60...擺明就是要人出錢去買他的BETA版....同時因為是BETA版，可以一直不用負責任(都說是BETA了，有問題跟我無關...其實就算是正式版也一樣可以說交易是你自己的事，和程式無關)

最好笑的是，之前出過的BETA版.... 5.60到5.69，中間一版正式版都沒有嗎?
從上一版正式版到現在出一年了，是在搞笑嗎~我看他以後可能一直都是在出測試版?

我還是新手，目前還在第一個有效更新約中(2年)，有朋友有續約過的嗎？

Huh, always beta version? AFAIK if you buy a license then you buy it in regards to latest final which right now is version 5.60.3. And of course then you have additional access to download versions of the beta cycle(s). Most of the time a new final comes out within one year. Everyone knows that. Sometimes it's two finals within one year depending on complexity of new implementations.

So what are you talking about being funny?? AmiBroker is one the most stable softwares. Look at how buggy and slow MC is. NT is even worse. And they still are years behind of what AB has to offer. Now think about why AB is so rock solid. Because T. Janezcko is an exceptional good and very careful programmer and generally he is a very compentent and a real software and hardware expert. His beta versions are as stable as final versions although you see those Stability info graphs at the top of each new beta entry. Have had no problems with beta releases in all those months using AB.

BTW I'm just a user from a different continent and not affiliated to AB!

FYI, one major beta cycle from 5.50 to 5.60 or from 5.60 to 5.70 and so on consists of 10 beta releases.  so it's 5.61, 5.62, 5.63 till 5.70 which would be a new final etc. Minor beta releases would be fixes of previous beta so a minor cycle is i.e. 5.61.1, 5.61.2 etc. As for features, Quote:""Big" features appear early in the development cycle, i.e. during first 5 betas within each 10 beta cycle."

Another quote found in the AB forum

Sometimes it is even better when things take longer - the concepts very often evolve and
this evolution needs time. I find myself that the longer it takes to mentally prepare yourself to do the job and to visualize the concept the better it comes out when it is finally implemented. Rushing things up does not lead to best solutions.

And another quote from year 2004

Hello,

It seems that not everyone understand what beta version is.

BETA versions of commercial software are WORK-IN-PROGRESS test copies released prior to the full version or even in the middle of the development cycle. They're used to put the product through real-world tests and to ferret out bugs before the finished software hits the public. If you choose to test some beta software, don't be surprised if it has multiple problems and it may even cause your computer to crash. After all, it is the beta version.

Most AmiBroker betas are very stable but this does not mean that each and every beta is problem-free.

This means that it is NOT advised to use beta for real trading. And if you do, you are doing this at *your own risk*. Please also do not expect to get all things fixed in minutes. In the past I have provided the fixes for critical things in a matter of hours but "critical" means something that makes the software completely unusable (for example repeatable, consistent crash at start). All other annoyances / problems that can be worked around by the user are NOT critical.

Best regards,

And another one from year 2008

Hello,

Please understand that I am currently working on finalizing 5.20 release
and it is feature closed. Any improvements may appear only in next development
cycle which would cover 5.21-5.29 betas and end with 5.30 release.

I am not revealing detailed plans or schedule because I am more concerned
about quality and stability of the software than meeting some artificial deadlines.

Roughly there are 3 releases per year with 10 betas for each release, so you
get 30 betas and 3 official releases per year. This may fluctuate depending

on other high-priority tasks like maintanance of the data plugins (suchas IB plugin and IB auto-trading interface that is very time consuming to maintain because of changes in TWS that often break compatibility) that delay development of core AB functionality. Each beta usually comes with 5-10 new features/improvements. So there can be 50-100 improvements/changes/features implemented per release. Some of them are small (fixes), some are big (like say custom backtester or non-exhaustive opt engines).

看來卸責的語句又出來了

作者真正覺得穩，就不要用BETA字眼來混淆視聽，用正式版來給用戶信心，如果連這一點都沒有信心的話，那用戶怎麼會有信心。
用戶花錢不是要來買一個測試版本的，測試版本只是附加價值，卻被AB拿來當成主要賣點的感覺...這....倒果為因

順帶一提，MULTICHARTS的正式版BUG一樣多，但他們不知道哪來的自信，8.7正式版可以出個5版，勇於將最新的版本命名為正式版(雖然BUG還是爆多)。
