Re: TS2000 Workspace Assistant Limitation

[Craig <craigbud@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks for the suggestion.  That option does make a difference with charts 
loading less data.  But it doesn't work in this example.

With the "maximize Calculation speed" unchecked, I applied the following to 
see if there is a barnumber limitation:

if lastbaronchart then
begin
         FileAppend("c:\test.txt", 
getsymbolname+","+numtostr(barnumber,0)+NewLine);
         buy this bar on close;
end;

The results are strange:

Using 1 minute bar compression with 30 days of historical data (around 6000 
bars), all the symbols from the list are appended to file.  At 150 days 
(around 50K bars), however, symbols begin to disappear, and it is not 
because those symbols have too many bars.  Stranger still, if I redo the 
same scan, I get different results: different symbols disappear.  And 
sometimes, I get all of the symbols.

Well, I could be an involuntary Omega debugger again, or, I can develop new 
tools.  I choose the latter.

Suppose I have one chart open with the chosen studies applied.  Is there a 
way to automatically type in the symbol from a symbol list file, and then 
have the next symbol on the list automatically typed in as soon as the EL 
code sends out a signal saying, "I'm finished"?
