ron,
I have not done any afl programming, but I was
thinking that perhaps you can use the string functions to always access the
unchanging part of the futures symbols so that it always the same, just
the data changes when you roll to a new month.

Subject: RE: [amibroker] Re: How can i
make a table to change symbols 1 place every 3 months
thanks for the reply--
yes, this is referring to
future contracts which expire---some every
month--- it's the month letter i
must change in more than 12
chart/indicators now--and maybe more to
come.
I have each sheet set to a different future-- 6e, zb, er2
etc. on the sheet
is a chart, and 3 or 4 indicators. each
indicator then can be changed for
the ma periods i want--as an
example. each sheet's chart/indicators have a
SetForeign followed by
the full IB symbol, so when i click a sheet of the
S&P, i see all the
info i want for that symbol, and then EUR, i see what i
want. so this
means every sheet must have 4 or 5 files edited each time a
contract
expires.... and maybe 6-8 sheets. and crude expires every
month.
i just want a cross reference table where i can say
er2u5-globex-fut is
equal to R2K. and all my charts/indicators would
have SetForeign("R2K") for
the er2 symbol, but would be linked to 1
instance of the real symbol. so
when a contract expires, all i have
to do is change the "real" symbol in 1
place. does that make
sense??
i know this is confusing-- cuz i don't fully understand what i
can really do
in afl.

ron,
Assuming you are referring to futures, the
first 2 letters of your symbol do
not change.

thanks for the reply,
yea i
remember--but that was for database and merging the expiring contract
with
the new one.
my request for some help is so i don't have to change the
SetForeign symbol
every 3 months in 10 or charts/indicators. I have
specialized indicators
for the different symbols and changing them is a
pain...
i'd like someway to cross reference a current symbol (which
will change
every 3 months) to an "alias" symbol. the alias would be
the one used in
the SetForeign.

Hi Ron
Something similar was covered a few weeks back.
From memory they
decided to create a NEW ticker with the NEW symbol every
three months
and then use the Symbol>Merge function to merge it with the
previous
symbol.
