Re: [amibroker] add scan results to wathlist programmatically

This came from some of Dan Clark's work.  On an SCAN where you're screening the BUY candidates.

 For a quick test I would choose a short watch list in your Filter selection instead of ALL.  

 The "" will add the current ticker into in this case WL 3.  You can assign a

label to Watchlist and use a Param function or hard code as Dan did here. Might be safer to hard code.

YourCondition = LastValue( MACD() < 0 ); // replace with yours

if( YourCondition )

{

CategoryAddSymbol( "", categoryWatchlist, 3 );

}

Buy = Sell = 0;   // this allows a SCAN to be run, otherwise it will ask you for BUY,SELL,SHORT,COVER

// The above works on a SCAN of a small watchlist, with N last days =1;

// **************************

Hope it helps.  Lots of examples in function definition area.

Hi Joe,
 
could you give an example? I played with my afl but could not figure out how to get the scanned out symbols.
 
if my buy signal is like below, how to add the scanned out 'buy' symbols to watch list?
 
buy = a & b & c;
 
i tried: CategoryAddSymbol(Name(), categoryWatchlist, 10); but got all db symbols added.
i also tried: valuewhen(buy, name()), but got syntax error.
 
could you shed some lite on this?
 
thanks a lot
Jeff

There's a function called categoryaddsymbol...can be used to add your selected ticker to a watchlist to

Best regards

is it possible to add scan results to wathlist with AFL programmatically? I have to do "add all results to watch list" all the time at this point.
 
thanks in advance
Jeff
