[amibroker] Re: Creating new watchlists from AFL



PureBytes Links

Ok. here is what i found so far on testing.

1. If you have AB database open, open the watchlist tls file and add 
a symbol into the file. On opening the watchlist, it will not show up.

2. close amibroker and open the tls file. the symbol that you added 
will disappear. i guess AB saves all the symbols into the tls file 
before it closes down.

i cannot add a symbol using OLE on watchlists >64. how else can i 
accomplish it as the file io will also not work when the AB databse 
is currently open.
