Tomasz,
 
I tried using the Tilde " ~ "....is that reserved windows character...
 
Here is the formula tried and failed...
 

Cond=C > Ref(C,-1);

if( LastValue( Cond==1) )

{

CategoryAddSymbol("~"+ Name(), categoryWatchlist, 13 );

}

Filter=Cond > 0;

AddColumn(Cond,"");

//Buy=0;

 

Anthony

Hello,
 
Never use special characters like *, /, \ 
(asterisk, backslash and slash) in watch list names or composite names.
 
These characters are Windows file-system reserved characters and must not be used in anything that forms the file name.

Best regards,
Tomasz Janeczko

This should be something that is very elementary....you should not have to create a composite ticker...
 
we just want to run an explore and put those tickers that meet certain criteria into a watchlist and mark those tickers that meet a 2nd  criteria with a ~ in front of the name...
 
Maybe Tomasz can look at it.

Ooops,.... should of course be:

AddToComposite(C,"~"+Name()+" * ","C");
