Can someone comment on these specific code and data differences which might
cause different execution times?
In the first case, does this entry code differ fundamentally from the
alternate below in terms of execution time?
This points directly to the Watchlist irrespective of what Filter is set.
list = CategoryGetSymbols(categoryWatchlist, 16);
Code continues here
The following uses COM object to make it easy for the Filter selection to be
used internally in the code
AB = CreateObject("Broker.Application");
AA = AB.Analysis;
WL = AA.Filter(0, "WatchList");
List = CategoryGetSymbols(categoryWatchlist, WL);
Same code continues here.
My question is whether this second way of coding the selection of the
Watchlist should have any effect on execution time.
I thought I read that the first three lines are OOP lines which are not AFL
code and should not affect the normal way AFL operates (meaning that the
first three lines are executed once and then the remaining AFL code is
executed for each symbol in the Watchlist).
It seems to me that execution time is much faster using the first construct
rather than the second. Should this be true?
Thanks for any insights.
