Chuck,
I'm not sure if *whatever* anyone does to create a watchlist can
become part of the AFL code. There are ways of selecting a watchlist
that requires some number crunching in Excel. As a general example,
taking the results of a backtest and, for each ticker, taking one of
the stats( columns) and multiplying it by something and also summing
or averaging another stat for each trade for that ticker, etc. Can
that kind of thing be done in AFL & possibly using some AB add-ons.
Maybe I just don't have enough of a grasp on some of AB's plug-ins
such as ABtool, PT, etc.
