Hello,
For adding symbols to watch lists, don't use OLE. Use CategoryAddSymbol instead.
It works with ANY watch list number.
OLE WatchListBits are left there for BACKWARD compatibility only (so OLE scripts
written for old versions continue to work). New formulas should exclusively use CategoryAddSymbol
Best regards,
Tomasz Janeczko
