RE: [amibroker] add scan results to wathlist programmatically

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).

 

MM

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;

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

build watchlists.  You can also clear your watchlist programmatically.
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
