Re: [amibroker] Disobedient Data Selection

Dear Hal,
 
I have just tried to reproduce the behaviour with the 
settings
you described and was not able to get any wrong 
results.
 
I used very simple check formula:

Filter = <FONT face="Courier New" color=#ff00ff 
size=1>1;
Buy = <FONT 
face="Courier New" color=#ff00ff size=1>1<FONT face="CourierNew" 
color=#000000 size=1>;
Sell = 1<FONT 
face="Courier New" color=#000000 size=1>;<FONT face="Courier New" 
color=#0000ff size=1>
AddColumn(Close, 
"close"<FONT 
face="Courier New" color=#000000 size=1>);
 
with scan/exploration and 
back test modes and I always get only the tickersthat belong to the watch 
list (correct).
So please double check all settings (especially the filter - 
click CLEAR on both Include and Excludepages and select 
your watch list once again - then click OK and check ifApply to radio button 
is set to "Filter")
Best 
regards,
Tomasz

Subject: [amibroker] Disobedient Data 
Selection
Hi Tomasz et all,I just happened tonotice 
that I was getting "weird" tickers selected in my favorite SCAN run. 
In order to reduce the time involved in each scan (approximately 2 
min, 50 sec) of 2800 tickers, I generated a watchlist of those tickers I 
consider to be within my price range. This watchlist is 950 tickers long, 
hence my scan is now under a minute.The above would be a true 
statement if it worked.The problem is, although I have tried all 
combinations of Range:Apply To:  USE 
FILTERDefine:     Watchlist name is properly selected 
in the INCLUDE windowRange:     Have tried three 
different selections 
of:                Last 
Quotations = 
1                Last 
Days          = 
1                From 
To Dates  =  Identical DateThe watchlist IS up to data with 
data.Under all of the above conditions I get tickers selected that are NOT 
in the watchlist.I therefore assume that there might be a switching 
problem somewhere in AB effecting my watchlist selection. My AB 
version is;  3.80.4  Build date: Nov. 29, 2001I would 
appreciate any assistance which would instruct my AB program to "Do what it's 
told to do."Best Regards, Hal Your
