Re: [amibroker] Question on VarSet and VarGet for Tomasz and programming gurus

["Tomasz Janeczko" <amibroker@xxxxxx>]

Hello,
 
See this and following thread for applications of 
VarSet/VarGet (dynamic variables)
 
<A 
href="">http://finance.groups.yahoo.com/group/amibroker/message/64690
 
As for StaticVarSet/StaticVarGet - they are just 
global / persistent variables (see my earlier explanations)
 
And no, these new functions do not offer any new 
functionality for portfolio backtesting.

  and VarGet for Tomasz and programming gurus
  
  Tomasz,
   
  For us non-programmers, I get the sense of importance that VarSet 
  and VarGet offer, but not in the practical sense.
   
  For PT, is there a way to find out which positions are open, what there 
  positionscores are, etc. using these functions.
   
  I'm sure you have some very practical reasons for offering such 
  functionality, but I'm not seeing it.
   
  Thanks,
  Gary
