for a quick view also a slide show by Herman was nice. for Watch list,
===========================
// Slide show of stock charts.afl
RefreshRate = Param("Chart Update rate",0,0,10,1);
RequestTimedRefresh( RefreshRate );
TimerTick = Status("RedrawAction");
WLNum = Param("WatchList Number",0,0,64,1);
MaxTickerNum = Param("Max. Ticker Number",50,1,100,1);
List = CategoryGetSymbols( categoryWatchlist, WLNum );
TickerNum = StaticVarGet("TickerNumber");
if( IsNull( TickerNum ) ) StaticVarSet("TickerNumber", 0);
if( TimerTick )
{
TickerNum = StaticVarGet("TickerNumber");
if( TickerNum <= MaxTickerNum )
StaticVarSet("TickerNumber",++TickerNum);
else StaticVarSet("TickerNumber", 0);
}
Ticker = StrExtract( List, Tickernum);
SetForeign(Ticker);
Plot(C,"",1,128);
Title = FullName()+"\n#"+NumToStr( TickerNum,1.0,False) +" "+Ticker;
// Check maximum number in Watchlist for MaxTickerNum
//for( MaxTickerNum = 0; ( StrExtract( List, MaxTickerNum ) ) != "";
MaxTickerNum++ )
_SECTION_BEGIN("Background");
SetChartBkColor(ParamColor("Öüíôï ",colorTeal)); // color of outer border
_SECTION_END();
===========================================
and this Price( Foreign ) _x 3
_SECTION_BEGIN("Price_foreing_X3");
Ticker1 = ParamStr("Symbol 1", Name() );
PlotForeign( Ticker1, Ticker1, ParamColor("Color1", colorBlue ),
ParamStyle("Style1") | styleLine );
Ticker2 = ParamStr("Symbol 2", Name() );
PlotForeign( Ticker2, Ticker2, ParamColor("Color2", colorBlack ),
ParamStyle("Style2") | styleLine );
Ticker3 = ParamStr("Symbol 3", Name() );
PlotForeign( Ticker3, Ticker3, ParamColor("Color3", colorYellow ),
ParamStyle("Style3") | styleLine );
_SECTION_END();
