Re: [amibroker] Abandoned Old Feature

Hello,

AmiBroker supports a new variable "exclude" that allows
to exclude the stocks from back-testing.

In order to simulate the old behaviour it is enough to
write:

exclude = NOT ( buy OR sell );


Citation from manual (AFL Reference Manual):
"Exclude - If defined, a true (or 1) value of this variable excludes current symbol from scan/exploration/back test. They are also
not considered in buy and hold calculations. Useful when you want to narrow your analysis to certain set of symbols."


Best regards,
Tomasz Janeczko
