Just modify the last line:
SetForeign(item,True,True);
2nd argument True or False at your discretion.
3rd argument True changes tradeprices too.
If by chance that does not work then do this:
Buy = True AND Name() == item;
In both cases, make sure you have "filter" checked are filtering on the
same Watchlist otherwise it can't find the stock.

Subject: [amibroker] How to BUY a FOREIGN?
i am getting nuts... i am unable to backtest a strategy that buys
certain symbols of watchlist.
following simple example of a loop through the symbols of a
watchlist I found in AL library. Will someone please fill in the
code to buy the ticker. It is so appreciatetd! Thanks in advance.
enzo
listNum=0 ;//enter watchlist number
list = GetCategorySymbols( categoryWatchlist, listnum );
for( j = 0; ( item = StrExtract( list, j ) ) != ""; j++ )
{
SetForeign(item);
//BUY=1; // will only buy first symbol of the watchlist
RestorePriceArrays();// to get out the influence of SetForeign
}
