[amibroker] Re: Excluding Tickers from an Exploration

Reef, this sounds like it's related to a problem I was having a few
weeks ago with portfolio-level testing on a watchlist.  Using a signal
 generated from FOREIGN(), if a stock in the watchlist was a newer
issue (with less data than the rest), the system-tester would buy
stocks in the watchlist in alphabetical order UNTIL IT CAME TO THE
STOCK WITHOUT DATA AT THE TIME OF THE SIGNAL.  It wouldn't skip over
and go to the next one, it would stop right there and wouldn't buy any
other stocks further down the list.

If a signal came at a later date AFTER the newer issue had data
available, the tester would trade that stock and any others further
down the list, as appropriate.

I think this is a "thing" and should be looked-into.:)  But I haven't
got any ideas of how to solve it, other than the obvious one (which
isn't really what we want).


Luck,

Sebastian
