Re: [amibroker] Top 200 stocks by volume

["Mark H" <amibroker@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I haven't tried that, but based on what I read in 
the help file, you can do an automatic script to accomplish that.
 
1. load the explore formula and 
settings
2. invoke the explore
3. save the results to a file
4. read the file and choose the top 200 
tickers
5. clear existing watchlist
6. set the 200 tickers to watchlist
 
You can even add the backtest steps:
 
7. load the backtest formula and 
settings
8. invoke the backtest
9. save the reports to files.
 
All these can be done in JScript. After that, the 
whole process is just one click away.

  Subject: [amibroker] Top 200 stocks by 
  volume
  Hi,From a newbie EOD trader. Instead of backtesting 
  using todays index, is it possible to create a daily list of 200 only 
  stocks from a list of 1000 filtered by moving average volume and my system 
  backtested on this list?I know I could do an explore to pick out 
  the top 200 and save it to a watchlist then backtest on the list, but I 
  want the list to be changed everyday within the backtest.I don't 
  want if using the rank function to only buy top-down stocks with the 
  highest volume but to buy any of the 200 selected stocks.Thanks for 
  any help.DaveSend BUG REPORTS to
