thanks yes Im looking for something like this. In the end I have a code that at the beginning designates two symbols. ticker1=ibm , ticker2=ge for example. Then I run the code.
The thing is, I have a few of them and I dont want to manually enter them. Instead I was thinking of putting a couple of tickers per watchlist. Then trying to call upon them by saying take each watchlist and make first symbol in watchlist = ticker1 and then 2nd = ticker2.
Then run code. Then take watchlist 2 and do the same thing and run code.
Is it possible to do that? How would I code that?

I an not sure what you are looking for. This program runs through a
watch list and processes the the symbols individually. You can do all
sorts of things within SetForeign() and RestorePriceArrays( );

Barry

_SECTION_BEGIN( "Using SetForeign") ;
SetChartOptions( 0, chartShowArrows | chartShowDates );
Filename = StrLeft(_DEFAULT_ NAME(),StrLen( _DEFAULT_ NAME())-2) ;
_N(Title = filename + StrFormat(" - {{DATE}} {{VALUES}} "));

// parameters

Watchlist = 10;

// create comma separated list of symbols in the watch list
list = CategoryGetSymbols( categoryWatchlist, watchlist );

/*
this gets the symbol name and the for loop will process every one in
the watch list for each bar. In an auto trading program it will run
every time a tick is received
*/

for( i = 0; ( sym = StrExtract( list, i ) ) != ""; i++ )
{
SetForeign(sym) ; // switches to the symbol array, OHLCVOi
/*
put your code here. You can create an include that will define the
parameters for each symbol you have optimized and dynamically switch
the parameters for the indicators. You can also dynamically switch to
a different system for some symbols. Your imagination is the limit.
*/
RestorePriceArrays( );
}
_SECTION_END( );

and 2nd ticker in this specific watchlist. possible?
