[amibroker] Specifying Watchlist from AFL

["Ron Rowland" <rowland@xxxxxxxx>]

I was hoping to find a way to easily set/specify the Watchlist to be 
used by a given AFL.  My preferred approach is "A" blow, but it does 
not appear to a valid/supported one.

A) The SetOption command allows me to override/set about 26 
parameters used/required by the AA window.  However, the 
documentation does not show a way to specify which Watchlist/Filters 
to use.  I would like to be able to simply say SetOption
(WatchlistName, "MyWatchList");

B) I have searched this group and it appears that this task can be 
accomplished using the "Automate a Backtest and Export the Tradelist" 
script that Dingo wrote back in April 2004.

C) I also assume that it can be accomplished in the CBT by enabling 
the Analysis Object and using the Filter Property.

D) I think it might also be possible using a brute-force approach by 
running all of my AFLs from a Watchlist named "UseThisOne" and then 
each AFL would use CategoryRemoveSymbol to clear out "UseThisOne" and 
then rebuild it by using CategoryGetSymbol from 
Watchlist "TheOneIReallyWant" and then have CategoryPutSymbol each 
symbol into "UseThisOne".  (Brute force and very ugly approach).

Since my preferred approach "A" is not a valid one, does anyone have 
an opinion on which approach is preferred?  Any other way of 
accomplishing this task?
