Is there a way to go around this problem?
The main reason why I want to automate Amiquite is that I am often at work in the evening... But that's also when I run my optimizations...

You can't run anything else in AB while doing imports -
think about it.

Hi
again again again, (lol),
Sorry for all the messages. I am just
so excited about this, cause this will help me a lot since I often work in
the evening and can't use Yahoo current day data.
I worked a bit and
it seems the second code you sent me works fine. Works
perfectly!
The only problem... is that it corrupts the
optimization I was doing. It's bug it seems, because at the moment
when Amiquote tries to update the database (which is optimizing at the same
time) it created a situation where a window pops up and asks me if I want to
continue even if Amibroker is now unstable. Even if I click "yes" the
optimization is dead and I have to re-begin it from scratch.. A bit
frustrating!
Thanks, Louis

Hi
again,
Ok, I think that I understand a bit more how it works.
The file.js will open Amiquote, who will then save the files to a .adq
file, which is Yahoo daily. But this file is only good for one day
(until the next time I run the script), so if for whatever reason I can't
manuallu import the ASCII to the database then I am in
trouble.
Would it be possible with the same type of script to run
Amiquote, to download the quotes AND to save them to the database
(current, or chosen one) directly so that whatever happens the quotes will
always be there when I come back?
Thanks, Louis
2008/5/22 Louis Préfontaine < rockprog80@xxxxxxxxx>:
Ok
I ran an exploration with phony parameter (C>1) and saved the result
to a watchlist and then exported the watchlist to a .tsl file.
Now I ran the script; it said "No tickers found in Amibroker"
but then it began downloading the information as I wanted it to
do.
But then, my question is: how to take that information back
to the Database I am using? If I understand correctly (I did some
research on the site) the .tls is simply a ticker list with no more
information, so where is going the information and how to make sure that
that information will go straight back to the
database?
Thanks,
Louis

Hi
Chris,
Thanks for your help.
The problem I have is
that... I am not sure how to use the .tls files! In fact,
I never used them; instead I would simply use the "Auto-updated
quotes" from the "Tools" menu in AB to automatically download the
quotes from Amibroker. So, I see in the code that you
posted that I need to have the .tls files setted, and I am not sure
how to do this.
1) How to take the tickers in my current
database and put them in the .tls;
2) How to be sure that the next
morning when I will open AB it will open the good database and that
the database will contain the new information from the .tls
file.
I guess this must be a really simple thing, but I still
didn't get it... yet!
Thanks, Louis

You could try this.. (where big = your
database name). If you have questions about detailing this,
then you might want to do a "site:www.amibroker.com AB.LoadDatabase" search and see
what is on the ami site.
Good luck

Re: [amibroker] amiquote lack of control
Thanks,
This is what I was looking
for...
Unfortunately, I know nothing (nada, niet,
rien) of this language. I don't use any .tls folder;
is it possible to build such script that would automatically look
into AB and update the quotes in the selected database? Or
would it be better to save my current databse in
.tls?
Thanks,
Louis

Yuki had asked in "Re:
[amibroker] amiquote lack of control"
now Louis has asked in "Is it possible to run Amiquote
automatically". Here is how to get Amiquote to run by
itself from "outside" of Amibroker.
Amibroker and its related programs
are easy to make work from other programs, like DOS boxes, or by
double clicking in windows.
2) Now, here's some code to try
(copy this into notepad).
AQ = new
ActiveXObject("AmiQuote.Document");
AQ.Open("C:\\mysymbols.tls");
FromDate = new
Date(1995,5,1,0,0,0);
/* year, month-1, day,
hour, min, sec (required by JScript date constructor)
*/
ToDate = new Date; // current
time
/* getVarDate is required to convert from JScript
Date to OLE-automation date */
AQ.From =
FromDate.getVarDate();
AQ.To = ToDate.getVarDate();
AQ.AutoImport = true; // import
automatically
AQ.Source = 0; // Yahoo
Historical
AQ.Download(); // starts
download
// wait until download and import is
finished
while(
AQ.DownloadInProgress || AQ.ImportInProgress
)
{
WScript.sleep(5000); // wait 5
seconds before querying status
again
}
WScript.echo("Download and import
complete");
3) Keep in mind, that you have to
use notepad to create this. And call it, yuki.js and then
save it. Then, double click yuki.js and it'll run a bunch
of stuff in amiquote automatically.
4) If you are interested, you can
use "Scheduled Tasks" to run yuki.js at scheduled times (See
ramvilas 's email from 5/22/08)

Is there anything for "normal" people? I mean people who
look at the
link you have provided and say, "Gee, that
looks like it should be
useful, somehow, but what now?"
People who think OLE is something you
shout in Spain, at a
bullfight?
