RE: [amibroker] Foreign Help

["Jayson" <jcasavant@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Larry, 
try setforeign.......
<FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff 
size=2> 

SetForeign( 'ticker' )- replaces current price/volume 
arrays with those of foreign security, returns True if ticker exists, False 
otherwise.If ticker does not exist (and function returns false) price arrays 
are not changed at all.Equivalent to the following 
sequence:C = Foreign( "ticker", "C" );O = Foreign( "ticker", "O" 
);H = Foreign( "ticker", "H" );L = Foreign( "ticker", "L" );V = 
Foreign( "ticker", "V" );OI = Foreign( "ticker", "I" );Avg = ( C + H + L 
)/3;but 6x faster (SetForeign takes about the same time as single 
foreign). To restore original prices 
callRestorePriceArrays();
 
Regards, 
Jayson
