[amibroker] Re: Another AQ Question



PureBytes Links

Trading Reference Links

a) For an existing database that includes symbosl with no data:

-	Tools >> Database Purify
-	Select reference >> All Symbols >> select  All Symbols/N == 
1, Report Missing Quotes
-	Deselect other report options
-	Default threshold is OK
-	Analyse
-	Click on column header to sort (separate Missing from No 
Quotes)
-	Shift/click first and last NoQuotes symbols
-	Right Click and send to watchlist

Normal procedure to delete WL symbols from DB


b) For a new EOD database:

-	create a new blank database
-	leave AB open
-	open AQ and import ticker list into AQ
-	uncheck AutoImport
-	set AQ dates to download one bar (quicker)
-	download and symbols will record errors
-	AQ >> Edit >> Toggle (switches checked symbols to non error 
symbol)
-	Check AutoImport
-	Set download dates to required history
-	Download (only symbols with data will be `pushed' to AB)

I didn't have time to check method B completely... I am pretty 
certain it works ... if not tweaking it a little will get results 
(save filtered list and restart database).

AFAIK you can't sort the AQ columns or delete all error symbols from 
the AQ list.

I couldn't find the toggle to turn on the 'hidden' AB help manual 
either.

I meant to warn you that it is not good practise to append new data 
to an existing, AQ created, database for backtesting (susceptible to 
corruption).... it's OK for temporary working databases (scanning for 
current signals etc) ... for backtesting take a history and 
quarantine the database.

There are some tricks to using AQ ... a few are documented at the UKB 
although the DBM section is incomplete and becoming dated now :-(
