[amibroker] Re: How to use watchlistbits?

["Tomasz Janeczko" <groups@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

WatchListBits and WatchListBits2 is a bit array so you should use 

(in JScript):

WListNumber = 15;

if( WListNumber < 32 )
  st.WatchListBits = st.WatchListBits | ( 1 << WListNumber);
else
  st.WatchListBits2 = st.WatchListBits2 | ( 1 << (WListNumber-32));


BUT....
in AFL there is a lot more comfortable way using CategoryAddSymbol:

CategoryAddSymbol( "", categoryWatchlist, WListNumber );
