Hi Dan,
Is there a difference? My preference
is to put it into all of my exploration code.
This is the beginning part (snippet) of
most of my explorations:
// -------- Parameter Conditions and Variables for
Exploration
WLF = ParamToggle ( "Add Results to a Watchlist?", "No|Yes") ;
// WLF – flag to select whether to add results to
watchlist or not
WLN
= Param("Set Watchlist Number", 2,
2, 60,1);
// WLN - sets
the watchlist number, but reserves the first 2 and last 4 watchlists
(I am using line
returns to force formatting in this email)
What I would like
to implement is the clearing of the watchlist should I set my WLF to true or
Yes. If I am to copy the results of this scan to my watchlist then I am going
to want to clear it first. The WLF will be true and the WLN will have the
watchlist # that I am going to use with this exploration. In the future I
am most likely going to hard code the watchlist # for each exploration.
This will make it easier to run batch processing via Batman or scripts (way
beyond my skill level at the moment though).

Jeff,
Are you going to run this in a scan or
exploration?
Regards,
Dan.

thanks for all the info to
get it work. here is the summary for reference.
1. To clear watchlists:
function ClearWatchList(_watchListNumber) {
_toClear =
GetCategorySymbols(categoryWatchlist,
_watchListNumber);
for(i = 0; (symC =
StrExtract(_toClear, i) ) != ""; i++) {
CategoryRemoveSymbol(symC, categoryWatchlist,
_watchListNumber);
}
}
ClearWatchList(0);
ClearWatchList(1);
ClearWatchList(2);
ClearWatchList(3);
2. To add scanned out stocks to watchlists:
r2 = ConditionA and ConditionB;
if (LastValue(r2) == 1) {
CategoryAddSymbol("",
categoryWatchlist, 1);
}
Buy = 0;
Thanks again!
Jeff

Here's another example. When you go
to see if you've been successful be sure to select refresh all
// clear Watchlists used to store
composite symbols of QP Sector Runs
WL =
3; // or use WL =
Param("WL No.",3,1,63,1);
ClearList =
GetCategorySymbols(categoryWatchlist, WL);
for( i = 0; ( symC = StrExtract(ClearList, i) ) !=
"";
i++ )
{
CategoryRemoveSymbol( symC, categoryWatchlist, WL );
}
Buy = Sell =0;

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?
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?

There's a function
called categoryaddsymbol...can be used to add your selected ticker to a
watchlist to
build
watchlists. You can also clear your watchlist programmatically.

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.
