Re: [amibroker] add scan results to wathlist programmatically

Hello MM
What I posted is meant to run as a one shot formula,  to do housekeeping on your watchlist.
I was assuming you would build from this and incorporate it in your other routines.
 
The way to test it is.. by running in AutoAnalyzer as follows.  Under APPLY TO, select Current Stock;
under RANGE, select 1 last days and select SCAN. 
 
Hope that helps in understanding what's going on.  The formula as written was not meant to be run
as an Explore against a watchlist in the ..... AutoAnalyzer....Apply To.... Use Filter   
 
If you ran it in an Explore with a watchlist defined as a Filter, it executed this routine as least once  for
every symbol you explored.  This is not completely correct since AB runs at least twice through each
formula for each ticker in the watchlist but who's counting for these routines. 
 
I'll bow out and let Dan help you since, he does the ticker selections during the explores.
 
Best regards
JOE

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.

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
