[amibroker] Re: How To Backtest Different Custom Symbol List Per Day?

["davemabe2000" <davemabe@xxxxxxxxx>]

OK, I see that.  However, the CSV file has over 2000 symbols for over 200 days.

Is there a way to have Amibroker read in the CSV into an associative array and then examine the array within the strategy?
