Anthony --
I was searching the AB Users Manual for 'InCategory', came up empty, and
gave up. I didn't think to look for 'InWatchList'. Thank you.
However, I believe a bit more manipulation is required to use
CategoryGetSymbols(). For example, copy list from Category:Index to
Category:WatchList:WLnumber and then use Filter = InWatchList(WLnumber)
as you pointed out. Of coarse one might also want to use
CategoryRemoveSymbol() to implement exclusion as well.
But, in order to save time, one might want to perform the operation only
once per scan, exploration, backtest, or optimization. Ah, so now
there's another question.
And again, thank you.

Keith ,
I believe there are several ways...
*CategoryGetSymbols( category, index ) *
*GetCategorySymbols( category, index ) *
*InWatchList( listno ) *
Filter= InWatchList( 3 ) OR InWatchList( 5 );

*Subject:* [amibroker] Filter for multiple categories?
With AA>Apply to>Define>Include, I have two similar problems:
1. If more than one category is selected, the are ANDed, rather
than ORed. So that one cannot, for example, filter for
Market:Nasdaq OR Group:ETF.
2. There is no way to select more than one list in a category.
One cannot have Watchlist:7 OR Watchlist:13.
I would very much like a solution to both problems.
A programmatic solution would be most appreciated. I try to have
as many settings in my code and as few GUI selected as possible.
Thanks for any help.
