Re: [amibroker] Using a watchlist for backtesting

["Ara Kaloustian" <ara1@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Use
_N(List = CategoryGetSymbols(categoryWatchlist,10));

for( i = 0; ( sym = StrExtract( list, i ) ) != ""; i++ ) 
{ 
//variable sym contains the name of the current ticker

rest of your code

}

The first line reads the watchlist you want (#10 in this case)
The loop extracts each symbol in sequence.
