[amibroker] Re: How to execute external command from AFL ?

["Mike" <sfclimbers@xxxxxxxxx>]

Try this:

EnableScript("jscript");

<%
function getWatchlist() {
	var AB = new ActiveXObject("Broker.Application"); 
	var AA = AB.Analysis;

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

if (Status("stocknum") == 0) {
	Script = GetScriptObject();
	Symbols = CategoryGetSymbols(categoryWatchlist, 
Script.getWatchlist());
	_TRACE(Symbols);
}

Buy = True;
