CHANGES FOR VERSION 5.72.0 (as compared to 5.71.0)

• AFL: new feature: high-performance Persistent Static variables implemented (StaticVarSet has new parameter ‘persist’ – if it is set to True then static variable will be stored in PersistVars.bin file when AmiBroker is closing and reloaded automatically on next startup, preventing the values of static variables between application runs)
• 64-bit optimizer plugins: fixed issue in SPSO/Tribes with OptimizeSetOption not working correctly
• UI: Interpretation and Notepad windows do not flicker anymore when they are resized
• ASCII importer: added $USEONLYLOCALDB command
• Symbol pane full-text search is user-configurable (from options menu) and now supports searching by alias, address, country (in addition to search by symbol and full name).
  

CHANGES FOR VERSION 5.71.0 (as compared to 5.70.0)

• AFL: PlotText() now has additional parameter yoffset: PlotText( “text”, x, y, color, bkcolor = colorDefault, yoffset = 0 )
• AFL: PlotTextSetFont( “text”, “fontname”, pointsize, x, y, color, bkcolor = colorDefault, yoffset = 0 )
• ASCII importer: now company address can be imported ($ADDRESS  command and new ADDRESS field in the $FORMAT command)
• ASCII importer: NULL can be specified as date in several date fields such as delisting date, dividend date,etc. This results in date being cleared (unset).
• Charts: Y-axis grid can now be finer than 0.0001 (#125281) – upto 6 decimal digits (0.000001) are displayed when needed
• Charts: Null values in Open/Close fields now disable drawing of open/close ticks in the bar chart (PlotOHLC function)
• UI: Last pane height does not change on window resizing after pane resize anymore.
• New Analysis: in Windows 7 and 8 the progress of scan/backtest/exploration/optimization is also shown in Windows Taskbar, so it is visible even if AmiBroker window is minimized or covered by other windows
• New Analysis: Backtest report settings: added option NOT to include Formula in the report (for security purposes)
• New Analysis: Horizontal scroll bar is refreshed after HTML import
• Prefs: Currency tab, added option “Trade using FX cash conversion” to handle different ways to calculate profits depending on whenever foreign currency is borrowed or cash actualy exchanged

請問一下：
AmiBroker 5.72.0  BETA Read MeIf data is fed by database plugin, using the ASCII importer to add any symbol    causes these newly added symbol to have "Use only local database" flag    turned on.
我想這部份是針對您的回應。
就您的經驗而言，這裡所提的database是指那一種？(您使用那種的 database plugin，會使"Use only local database" flag    turned on）
我提問的目地只是假設我最近或許也會面臨我所不知道的問題而預作防範而已，謝謝！

lwhuang

其實我還沒升版，需要用的就是real time的 database，我的假想用法是，real time feed data可能斷線，或什麼的不完整，或是資料太多>500000，就把他砍了，然後餵 ascii資料，再設 use only local database 為 off，之後繼續接 real time data。以上動作為全自動，所以會需要這個新指令

lwhuang

其實不用這個新指令也是可以全自動的啦，只是爽度有差
