Aq is the red-headed step child of AB automation. TJ has it on his wish
list to add a number of command line args so that we can set all of the
various options. As you've discovered AQ sets itself up as it was last run.
to get around this you have a couple of nasty options:
1. write a program than finds the various window handles in AQ and use
windows messages to set it up as you like.
2. Change the registry settings that AQ uses to "remember" its last
settings. (DANGER WILL ROBINSON!!")
there is a duude that posted some info on this last option: Look in the
archives on Aug 8 2004 for the msg with the topic of "Downloading from
multiple sources with Amiquote" to get the particulars.
That's gonna be a tuffie.
Where are you downloading your data from via AQ? Is it EOD? If yahoo or
somewhere where its avail via a web page then you can do some majik
downloading / parsing / importing and not use AQ.

Subject: [amibroker] Re: Is it possible to LoadFormula without the window of
the ' Automatic Analysis' open automatically?
Thanks for the tips... and since you're asking:
Here's what I'm trying to do:
- Start AB
- Auto-update Quotes with Amiquote
- Run Exploration
- Export results
- Email results
Everything works. Except the autoupdate quotes part. Basically
whenever I run the exploration, and receive the results, the data
used is always the previous days information. For example, today is
11/4/04, but the exploration finds signals from 11/3/04.
If I update manually (i.e. Open AB, Open Quote.exe, run update...)
the script will have results with 11/4/04 signals.
Any suggestions?
Here's part of my code:
----------------------------
...
/* *****************************************
***** Update Quotes *********************
***************************************** */
Shell.Run("C:\\Progra~1\\AmiBroker\\AmiQuote\\quote /autoupdate");
WScript.Sleep("20000");
oAB.RefreshAll();
oAB.SaveDatabase();
/* *****************************************
***** Run Daily Explorations ************
***************************************** */
AFLFolder = "C:\\Program Files\\AmiBroker\\AFLDaily"; // MODIFY TO
FIT YOUR SETUP
var AA;
var f, f1, fc, s;
var filename;
/* Create AmiBroker object and get Analysis object */
AA = oAB.Analysis;
/* backtest over symbols and all quotes*/
AA.ClearFilters();
AA.RangeMode = 2;
AA.RangeN = 1;
...
