RE: [amibroker] Type In Symbols

Bob: in general you are probably correct,
but in this case that advice will not work.

 

The tree in the sectors is like the
following

 

Sector

-----Metals and Mining

-----------Gold Stocks

 

I can not run an explore on Gold Stocks
because when you try to put that in the Filter box, all you are able to check
is Metals and Mining, which includes way more other symbols than just Gold
Stocks.

 

I tried that but was thwarted by the
single level selection in the Filter box.

 

Thanks for the comment, though.

 

Ken

Jayson:  I have to apologize and
amend my comments&#8230;I see that I can type in my gold stocks if I click on a
newly named watchlist, but I previously have to write the gold stock symbols on
a piece of paper because I can not see the list in the Sectors tree and at the
same time expose the Watchlist group&#8230;.and my memory is not good enough to
remember more than two symbols at a time.  <font size=2
color=navy face=Wingdings>L<span
>  plus there is a
lot of switching back and forth when there are a lot of symbols to move.

 

I think people asked for the type-in
feature and Tomasz gave it to them, but it would have been more convenient to
make it available on all lists in the tree &#8230;or better yet, modify the
Organize Assignments system so one can transfer symbols from Sectors to Groups
to Watchlists, etc.

 

AB is near perfect&#8230;but not quite all
the way there&#8230;..

Jayson:

 

Right you are but that is an almost
worthless feature then.

 

If I want to transfer symbols from one
watchlist to another, all I have to do is open &#8220;Organize
Assignments&#8221;, go to the Watchlist tab and move symbols from one watchlist
to another at will.  I do not need the type-in box in that case.

 

What I was trying to do was move symbols
from a GROUP to a Watchlist, something you can not do in Organize
Assignments.  It turns out that GOLD stocks (which I was interested in
moving into a watchlist) are buried two levels deep in the tree as read from
the TC2000 database.  There is no convenient way to get symbols from Group
lists into Watchlists.  I think the only methods are to do it one at a
time as I wound up doing.  I could not even do an explore, export and then
reimport for the reason that Gold stocks are two levels deep and I could not
explore on them.  There will probably be a response that I could have set
up some complex Group or sector ID search and find, but what I would like to
have seen was the type-in box appear for all symbols no matter where they were
located.

 

Thanks for the comment.

 

Ken

I expected a dialog box to appear to allow me to

nothing.

What am I missing?
