File menu

New

• Database
  Creates a new AmiBroker database and launches Database Settings window.
  
• Default Chart
  Creates a new chart window using a default template. It's possible to select the symbols and time frame independently in each of the windows opened.
  
• Linked Chart
  Creates a linked chart window based on the current template and active chart. Linked windows use the same symbol selection, so if you change the selected symbol for one of them, the other one will synchronize automatically. Linked windows can have DIFFERENT viewing time frames selected. Simply activate the window and select the desired interval from the View menu for one window, then switch to the other one and select a different interval for it. This option allows you to select a different time frame or indicator set in each window and easily move through the database.
  
• Blank Chart
  Creates a new (blank) chart window. This is useful if you want to create a completely new setup of charts that do not share the same chart IDs. This is important if you want to have indicators that have independent parameters from the other windows you have created.
  
• Blank Pane
  Creates a new (blank) chart pane
  
• Account
  Creates a New Account (Account Manager)
