[amibroker] Re: Filtering Out Preferred Share Issues

["Mike" <sfclimbers@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I believe that Norgate uses a '+' in the symbol name for preferred shares.

Modify your exploration to not inclue any symbol having a + in its name. Similarly, set Buy/Sell/Short/Cover to 0 for whenever Name() contains a +.

Here's a quick exploration to verify the assumption:

Filter = StrFind(Name(), "+");
AddTextColumn(FullName(), "Full Name");

Mike
