[amibroker] accessing foreign stock object properties

["loveyourenemynow" <loveyourenemynow@xxxxxxxx>]

Hello,


how can I access roundlotsize(or any other property) for a foreign symbol?
I tried the code below, but it just gives me the current symbol
roundlotsize.

CatType=categoryWatchlist;
Cat="HK";
catnum=CategoryFind(Cat, CatType );
_N(items = CategoryGetSymbols( categoryWatchlist, Catnum )); 
for( i = 0; ( item= StrExtract( items, i ) ) != ""; i++ ) 
	{ 
SetForeign(item,1,1);
 Lot=RoundLotSize;printf("\nLot "+Lot);
RestorePriceArrays(1);
	}

Am using correctly the setforeign settings?

Roundlotsize can be accessed as a property of a stock object, like:
AB = CreateObject("Broker.Application");
sts = AB.Stocks();
Qty = sts.Count;
for( i = 0; i < Qty-1; i ++ )
{
  st = sts.Item( i );
  Ticker = st.Ticker; 
  if(StrFind(ticker, "xxx") ) 
  {
  printf("Round "+st.RoundLotSize};
	}
  }
  
}

but it is quite slow, since it scans the entire list of symbols everytime.
How can a stock object be accessed directly by its ticker property
without having to loop through all the elements of Stocks object and
use the .item method ?




Thanks
Ly
