[amibroker] Re: scrolling through a watchlist

["Barry Scarborough" <razzbarry@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I an not sure what you are looking for. This program runs through a 
watch list and processes the the symbols individually. You can do all 
sorts of things within SetForeign() and RestorePriceArrays();

Barry

_SECTION_BEGIN("Using SetForeign");  
SetChartOptions(0, chartShowArrows | chartShowDates ); 
Filename = StrLeft(_DEFAULT_NAME(),StrLen(_DEFAULT_NAME())-2);
_N(Title = filename + StrFormat(" - {{DATE}} {{VALUES}} "));

// parameters

Watchlist = 10; 

// create comma separated list of symbols in the watch list 
list = CategoryGetSymbols( categoryWatchlist, watchlist ); 

/*
this gets the symbol name and the for loop will process every one in 
the watch list for each bar. In an auto trading program it will run 
every time a tick is received
*/

for( i = 0; ( sym = StrExtract( list, i ) ) != ""; i++ ) 
{ 
	SetForeign(sym); // switches to the symbol array, OHLCVOi
/* 
put your code here. You can create an include that will define the 
parameters for each symbol you have optimized and dynamically switch 
the parameters for the indicators. You can also dynamically switch to 
a different system for some symbols. Your imagination is the limit.
*/
	RestorePriceArrays( ); 
} 
_SECTION_END();

actually manually write the tickers? Like referring to them as 1st 
and 2nd ticker in this specific watchlist. possible?
