Thanks to post by Tomasz in another thread where he mentioned
Status("action"), the significance of which I had missed, we
can now make the watchlist erase function work universally ie
when the code is included in an Indicator.
The amended code is as follows:
// clean up watchlists before starting
s = 0;
Actn = 0;
if(Actn = Status("action") == 4)
{
if( s = Status("stocknum") == 0 )
{
wlnumber =
CategoryFind("wlUsualSuspectsLongFilter",categoryWatchlist );
List = CategoryGetSymbols (categoryWatchlist, wlnumber);
for(i = 0; (Symbol = StrExtract(List, i)) != ""; i++)
{
CategoryRemoveSymbol (Symbol,categoryWatchlist, wlnumber);
}
}
}
