???

 

How about AddToComposite ????

It is doing exactly that - it allows to calculate cumulative statistics accross the list of securities

http://www.amibroker.com/guide/a_addtocomposite.html

 

If you are after SINGLE values (numbers) it is also possible via StaticVariables:

 

if( Status("StockNum") == 0 ) StaticVarSet("yourvariable", 0 ); // set to zero at start

 

StaticVarSet("yourvariable",   somecalculation + StaticVarGet("yourvariable") );

Spend a little time looking at this example of gathering stats for an
entire watchlist in an Explore and you should be able to adapt it to
your needs. (Quite some time ago I tried to convince TJ to offer a new
variable type that persisted for the life of each "RUN" and then reset
, but TJ did not see the need.)

//GapStats for a specific Watchlist
// Remember to run against a SINGLE security to avoid iterations
against the same watchlist.
ListCount = 0; // Global Variable
GapUp2Pct = 0;
GapFilled = 0;
ClosedLower = 0;
function GapScanforWatchList( listnum )
{
list = GetCategorySymbols( categoryWatchlist, listnum );
  Average = 0; // Local Variable to function
  for( i = 0; ( sym = StrExtract( list, i ) ) != ""; i++ )
  {
    ListCount++;
    SetForeign(sym, fixup = True);
    LocCondGap = O >= Ref(H, -1) * 1.02;
    LocGapUp2Pct = Cum(LocCondGap);
    GapUp2Pct = GapUp2Pct + LocGapUp2Pct;                // Update Global
    LocCondFillGap = LocCondGap AND  L <= Ref(H, -1);
    LocGapFilled = Cum(LocCondFillGap);
    GapFilled = GapFilled + LocGapFilled;                        //
Update Global
    LocCondClosedLower = LocCondGap AND C < O;
    LocClosedLower = Cum(LocCondClosedLower);
    ClosedLower = ClosedLower + LocClosedLower;          // Update Global
  }
  return Average / i;
}
GapScanforWatchList( 23 );
PctFilled = GapFilled / GapUp2Pct * 100;
PctLower = ClosedLower / GapUp2Pct * 100;
lastbar = BarIndex() == BarCount - 1;

Filter = lastbar;
AddColumn(Listcount,"ListCount",1.0);
AddColumn(GapUp2Pct,"# 2% UpGaps", 1.0);
AddColumn(GapFilled,"# Filled",1.0);
AddColumn(PctFilled,"% Filled", 1.2);

AddColumn(ClosedLower,"# Lower",1.0);
AddColumn(PctLower,"% Lower", 1.2);
