Brian_z,
Thanks for the reply.
I was considering doing something very similar to what you have
described below. ie Using Watch Lists to seperate the different
securities. I was going to simply download, say the FTSE100 company
list and save it as a txt file and then import it as a Watch List.
But I'll definately take a look at the link.....
Out of interest, how much more difficult would it be to simply have
TWO Amibroker databases (one for each exchange)? If it is easy to
move between the two, wouldn't this be the most effective way to
control securities from both exchanges?
I'd be interested in your thoughts as most people recommend just the
one database.
Thanks for your assistance on this...
