[amibroker] Re: Watchlist Name

["Mike" <sfclimbers@xxxxxxxxx>]

Don't know if there is an easier way. But, you could always just use 
the Com/JScript support to access the AmiBroker OLE object and query 
its properties as follows.

Mike


EnableScript("jscript");

<%
function getAAWatchList() {
  var ab = new ActiveXObject("Broker.Application");
  var aa = ab.Analysis;

  return aa.Filter(0, "watchlist");
}
%>

Fast = MA(Close, 5);
Slow = MA(Close, 25);
PositionSize = -10;

Buy = Cross(Fast, Slow);
Sell = Cross(Slow, Fast);

SetBacktestMode(backtestRegular);
SetCustomBacktestProc("");

if (Status("action") == actionPortfolio) {
	script = GetScriptObject();
	bo = GetBacktesterObject();

	bo.Backtest();
	bo.AddCustomMetric("Watchlist", script.getAAWatchList());
}
