[amibroker] Re: How to exclude symbols?

Anthony,

I see what you are saying but unfortunately that doesn't work either.
I need something like:
 if( Barcount(Foreign( symbol, "C" )) >=  500) 
 
but that syntax does not work either....I'm just not expert enough 
with AFL to see the solution although I'm sure there is one????

Thanks,
Tom
