Followup
to my own message, asking this:
I found
a "case" statement in some code written in 2002, which has the convenient
feature of naming the symbol name and having the ability to assign various
parameters within one line. My reading of the current "Switch-Case"
statement construction suggests that the old _vbscript_ way is more compact and
more versatile. Perhaps only TJ can comment on this, but I am still
looking for a way to assign parameter values individualized for many
symbols.
sample
from 2002:
ticker = Name(); BuyLine
= 0;
BSSC = 0; SL = 0;
/* _vbscript_ for values specific to each stock
*/
EnableScript("_vbscript_");
<%
'BSSC Codes: 1 =
Buy/Sell 2 = Short/Cover 3 = Both / SL = Stop Loss percentage
Stock =
AFL("ticker") : CMO = 0 : STO = 0 : BSSC = 0
Select Case Stock
Case
"ACDO" STO = 32 : CMO = 27 : BSSC = 3 : SL = 13
Case "ADBE" STO = 24 :
CMO = 43 : BSSC = 3 : SL = 13
Case "ADI" STO =
25 : CMO = 67 : BSSC = 3 : SL = 13
Case "AFL" STO =
22 : CMO = 58 : BSSC = 3 : SL = 13
. . . . .
'Case Else
STO = 23 : CMO = 50: BSSC = 3
End Select
AFL("StoBuyLine")
= STO
AFL("CMOBuyLine") = CMO * -1
AFL("BSSC") =
BSSC
AFL("SL") = SL
The subject line is not
well stated but I couldn't find a more concise way to ask what ways are
available to use a different parameter for each symbol on which a code file is
used.
Say I have a value, any
value, but each symbol has a different value for it to perform the best.
Thus, as a watchlist is run through an Explore, or a Backtest, I want the
individual value to be used for each symbol. The value would not change
bar by bar but would be true for the symbol and all of its
data.
I have used the CASE
statement in the past (in Jscript) but is this the best way given today's more
advanced Amibroker program?
What about opening and
reading an outside file? (not sure how I would program that
anyway).
Can a CASE statement have
more than 300 lines? ...more than 500? What upper
limit?
What are your
suggestions?
Thanks,
Ken
