Title: Re: [amibroker] Re: finding pairs
But how would you manage accessing two tickers while the AA scans only one at a time? We need capability to have, for example:
Ticker1 Ticker2 Correlation
XYZ ABC 0.867
XYZ JKI 0.867
DFG JKI 0.932
This cannot be done in the AA without some tricks.
btw, we do have string arrays in the form of Static and Set Variables.
