Re: [amibroker] Re: Jim's US-stocks database unavailable?

["Louis Préfontaine" <rockprog80@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Ed,

In fact, I do want .OB tickers; I just do not want to have the .OB at the end because my data provider does not recognize that.

I will try Tomasz code; I hope it works.

But thanks for the suggestion; it will help me for other things...

Louis

p.s. It would be nice if someone could post the .zip file in the download area of the group.

Louis - you're right, something has changed at Jim's site. I just
downloaded both the .zip file and the Excel file from his site just a
few days ago.

I unzipped the file and created the empty database as "US-Stocks New".
Like you, I did not want the OTC-BB stock names in all of the industry
lists - so there is a utility in AB under the SYMBOL dropdown near the
bottom called "Organize Assignments". In that, under MARKETS there is
a list of all of the *.OB stocks under OTC.

Just click this list, then under the SELECTED the DELETE button will
illuminate, and when you click it, all of the *.OB stocks disappear
from the DB.

I know we discussed a lot about this, but what I tried was a failure.

Amibroker crash and I had to change the name of the folder so AB would
