You could have code that states: if(InWatchlist(36); ..... code to perform
logic follows on additional lines
or you could have this code which will add a symbold to a watchlist -
// ------------------ Watchlist Section --------------------------
Add = IIF( WLF == 1, Filter, 0); // checks to see if Watchlist
Flag is set to a 1 in the parameters window
if ( LastValue ( Add ) )
{ CatagoryAddSymbol( "", catagoryWatchlist, WLN ); } // adds symbol to
Watchlist # set in the parameters window
// -----------------------------------------------------------------------
(don't ask me to explain exactly how the code above works. I just know it
does and use it extensively, lol.)
My questions to you and the group are:
1) Does Amibroker still work the same way in that it only looks at
Watchlists by number?
2) Or am I wrong in that we can specify in our code a Watchlist Name?
TJ expanded the number of watchlists that Amibroker supports from 64 to
unlimited. That was a nice improvement and very much appreciated. With so
many watchlists now I have had the urge to resort them but don't believe I
can because of the way I also use code to manipulate many of these same
watchlists.
So if my understanding is correct, then this could serve as a heads up to
all that plan to create a lot of watchlists.
