Hello Yuki: I hesitate to write since I don't know the context completely and I've not loaded 4.91, but a "no code" approach using 4.90.5 would be to export the three large watchlists to a general folder dedicated to holding tickers, say, called MyTickers.
Then, in your new installation or database you should be able to import these 3 files to the appropriate 4.91 watchlists. I would assume 4.91 has import/export I hesitated to up grade to 4.91 since I've just completed a couple of programs using comma separated files to get around the 63 watchlist limit. Daniel Ervi's sample program at the Amibroker conference was the catalyst. Actually I didn't know how to enumerate the list of files in a folder. I know for you C++ programmers this is not a big deal but it was a breakthrough for me.

It's a great program, period. I did go ahead and try the upgrade. I'm not experiencing any problems that I notice. I haven't tried everything yet, but I'll get around to it. The new enhancements to the watchlist system are warmly welcomed. Quick question: I have three watchlists in my primary database, one each for the Nikkei 225, 300, and 500 indices. I also have a full Japan database (more than 3000 symbols) that I have not organized very much. Since watchlists now have a folder, an index file, and ticker lists, would it now be possible to copy a watchlist, or watchlists, from one database to another? It would seem that this might be an easy thing to do, but I don't want to mess around with the innards until I know what I'm doing.
