I haven't yet had the need for more watchlists. Though I can see that as I build more systems, this will come up as an issue. It might take a year or more to get there.
It's more a need of being able to switch the watchlist ID's in an easy manner. When I build a system, I like to put the script results in descending watchlists. Each WL represents the results set of a given system script. It makes sense to put all the WL's for a system in line, desc order. If I need an additional WL (because I added an additional script to my system) and the next WL ID has been dedicated to a different system, I have to go back into my scripts and change all the "clear WL" and "add WL" lines of code, which is a real pain. Expecially since it gets confusing and it's easy to screw this up. Much easier to be able to change the WL ID from within AB's user interface. Thanks for bringing this up. ~Brian --- In [email protected], "Ken Close" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I **know** this is on the to-do list, but I am wondering if there are more > like me who have a growing and more urgent need for a larger number of > Watchlists. > > I would like to advocate for this item to be moved up the development and > change priority list. > > Here is just one example of why this is growing in importance. > > I am embarking on making lists of the holdings of the ETFs of which there > are well over 100. > > ATCs then allow not only composite price determination but almost more > importantly, other stats such as advancing and declining volumes, > advancers/decliners, percent over some benchmark, and etc. > > I thought I would just make a new database and devote the new set of empty > Watchlists (64) to these, but I quickly see that is not enough unless I > limit the ETFs I study. > > So it looks like I will be forced into substituting for Industries and that > gets me involved with scripts to install the lists of symbols for each ETF. > A lot of extra work which would not be necessary it the program were > expanded to have 256 Watchlists. > > TJ is always open to suggestions and desires so I urge you to make yours > known. > > Yes, I am submitting this to the suggest AT amibroker.com address. > > While it is not necessary to clog support with the same request, I wonder > how else Tomasz can gage interest in the suggestion. > > Thanks, > > Ken > ------------------------ Yahoo!
