Hello,
The symbol tree shows only symbols that EXIST in the database.
And of course there *IS* bulk import of symbols.
File->ASCII Import Wizard
Field 0 - Ticker
Mark "no quotation data" check box. And that's it. (There is multiple file select too)
This also can be automated using OLE automation interface

AmiBroker is multi-layered program. As Dan said it is like an onion.
You peel off one layer and there is another and another and another.
If you play with it a little bit more you will quickly find out that
everything that if only you can imagine something - it is doable one way or another in AB.
Best regards,
Tomasz Janeczko
