[amibroker] Re: All Those Tickers........

["steve_almond" <steve@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

UM,

Your code seems to do what I want. Problem is I'm a moron as regards 
code....

Here's what I've done:

1. Downloaded your ABtool, unzipped it and put ABTool.dll in my 
plugin folder. Restart AB and checked that ABTool is a plugin - OK.

2. Run my exploration and moved the "failed" stocks into watchlist 
13. There are 5326 stocks to delete.

3. Now, just where do I put this piece of code to delete watchlist 
13? In AA window? Do I simply write:

DeleteStocksFromDB(13);     

and then Explore?? Scan??

Please help with this last step.

Thanks,

Steve
