Hi, This topic has been touched upon a number of times in the past. There are basically two approaches:
1. Sort on the fly, repeating the sort all over again for each symbol as it gets processed (very slow, but viable "one pass" solution for small watchlists) 2. Sort first using a sorting script, then go back and run the intended script, referencing the pre-sorted values. A lengthy, but informative thread, on the topic can be found here (starting with option 1, then meandering towards option 2) http://finance.groups.yahoo.com/group/amibroker/message/126335 Mike --- In [email protected], "sdwcyberdude" <scwalker1...@...> wrote: > > > Many thanks to the world class participants of this blog who help others > learn how to use Amibroker.
