Re: Import to a watchlist

[saltyla1@xxxx]

Hello All,
I was just wondering if you had tried this while you were waiting for 
a new version release.
This example was taken from #3239 (a TJ reply) , and modified.

To select all stocks of a given group or market to move to a watch 
list you may create
an exploration like this in Automatic Analysis:

filter = 1;
numcolumns = 1;

In the "Apply to" box select "use filter" and "Define",
then under the "Include Tab" select your group or market etc. and 
press "OK"

Choose Range: n last days = 1,
then click on "Exploration"

You will see the list of tickers matching your criterion.
Now click on the result list with RIGHT mouse button
and choose "Add results to watch list" and select the
list.

Good Luck
Brian
