Re: [amibroker] lastvalue(Buy) not working for me

["Tomasz Janeczko" <groups@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

1. You don't need to check if symbol is in watch list already because
if it is, AB will take care of it and it will not appear twice if added again.

2. Everything works just fine, but you need to press F5 key (refresh).

Best regards,
