Tom,
Maybe I’m
misunderstanding your question, but why not use an AB Watch list and just add
the TC index symbols?
Below is a process
that I figured out. There may be a simpler and more elegant way of doing
it, but I’m not sure how.
FYI… If we can clean
up this process a bit, we might want to add it to our WikiWiki or maybe Tomasz
can add it to the documentation.
Regards,
Dan.
1)
In
Telechart, select a watchlist tab and then from the watchlist drop down,
select “System Watchlists à All
indexes”.
2)
This
will display all of the TC Index symbols in a
watchlist.
3)
Select
Databank à Export to
Text.
4)
Ensure
that you are just exporting the symbol (in the “Export Fields (in Order)”
selection window.
5)
Select
“Single File” and a file name.
6)
Click
Export.
1)
In AB,
go to “Symbol à Categories
à Watch
lists”
2)
Select
and rename two target watch lists – one to hold all indices; one to hold key
indices. Mine are named “Key Indices (6)” and “All indices
(30)”. (I include the Watch list number to the end to keep track of the
number.)
3)
Now go
to Symbol à Watch list
à
Import.
4)
Select
the “All Indices” target watchlist.
5)
Navigate
to the folder where you saved the TC index symbols and select the
file.
6)
Click
“Open”
7)
In the
AB Workspace window, check “Symbols à Watch lists
à All Indices (30)”
(or whatever you name your watchlist). You should see it filled with all
of the TC Index symbols.
8)
Note the
symbols that you want to include in the target “Key Indices (6)”
watchlist.
9)
Now go
to “Symbol à Organize
Assignments”
10)
Click
the “Watch lists” radio button.
11)
On the
left select “All Indices (30)” as your source watchlist. On the right,
select the target “Key Indices (6)” watchlist.
12)
On the
left, select the index symbols that you want to include in your Key Indexes
folder and click the “>” button. This moves them to the
right.
13)
Click
“Close”
14)
In the
AB Workspace window, check “Symbols à Watch lists
à Key Indices
(6)”. You should now see a list of your key
indices.
Alternatively, you
could skip steps 8-15 and select each symbol in the “All Indices (30)”
watchlist, right-click, select “Watchlist à Add selected
symbol…”. This is a bit simpler, but you only do it one symbol at a
time.
