Re: [amibroker] Quickie: What was the name of that new AFL command to change chart tickers?

[Dennis Brown <see3d@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dan,

Thanks for the answer.   Our responses crossed in the net.

I did not find any problem with having it execute just once when I click the button.  It is at the end of my script, so I am sure it will execute between AFL passes.  I was going to make it step through the watch list, but since I only trade ES and ER2, I just hard coded the symbol for now --so I can use it tomorrow!

Were you going to cycle via a button/ pramTrigger? Or were you going to have it automatically cycle like a slide show via time?

Best regards,

Dennis

Dennis,

 

There is a variable setting that changes the ticker.  Took me a while to find it again, buried in a release note of a few versions ago. (It pays to read those.)

 

In jscript:

 

AB = new ActiveXObject("Broker.Application");

AB.ActiveDocument.Name = ticker;

I'm working on a script to step through each ticker in a watchlist, or in the list of all tickers.   Since setting this variable in the current script will cause it to be reexecuted (but when? immediately? or after the rest of the script finishes?) it is a bit tricky to control the stepping process using just one script, but it can be done.  More modularity and flexibilty will come from controlling this process via a separate script, in another chart or otherwise. 

 

Anyone else doing anything interesting with this new feature?

Hello,

I could swear that I read that there was a new command in AFL to 
change the chart ticker. However, I don't remember what it was 
called, and all the searches I tried did not find it.

Could someone just reply with the name.

Thanks,
Dennis
