Re: RE: [amibroker] Referencing a stock margin file

Paul...

I have a csv file with a stock list and margin requirement from a range of say 3 to 100.  

As you suggest I hoped there was a way to either run a script occassionally & set the margindeposit value for each symbol, OR read the csv file during a backtest & set the margin in AFL.  I can't find an example for reading external files in the help file yet, do you have a suggestion for either?
