Re: [amibroker] Fullname in symbol tree-find as you type + Fullname in TAB+ F3 on Fullname

[Robert Chevallier <robert.chevallier@xxxxxxxxx>]

1. Easy way: export data as ascii and reimport with proper import format. NB: the import wizard doesn'at allow you to choose the alias field. You have to edit the format file generated.

2. Don't know with MS plugin, as I'm not using it. It works ok with file import.

Thanks Mr. Chevallier. I thought of this (didn't know about the alias option though) but
1. I wonder how this can be done on a pan database level? Cant see myself doing this stock by stock...B-0 &
2. I wonder how this database will be updated? The original is a EOD Metastock Database converted into an AB database using the Metastock Plug-in.

Alternatively you can put the Stock name in the Ticker field, and the code in the alias Field (I suppose there is no chance the stock name can match the 8 digits). If you are using AmiQuote, you may have register the mapping ALIAS/TICKER in AmiQuote

Thanks ram vel. All these options have been enabled in the Preferences dialog. I can see the full name along with ticker in symbol tree. But the find-as-you-type feature still only works on an unweildy 10 digit numeric rather than on the "full name".

Do any of the expert ABers have any other ideas on how the find-as-you-type feature in the symbol tree can be applied to the "full Name" as against the symbol? Thanks.

Hi friend,

 

Be happy,                  

please try this -possibly it may solve your problem.

Go to preferences, miscellaneous,then check the items

(put a tick mark) to

add fullname to ticker in tickerbox

add fullname to ticker in tree

 

try also to check

fullnametooltips in symboltree

if checking first two items wont help fully

click ok 
 that is it

HI,

Preference > miscellaneous > display options> full name in tree

allows me to SEE the full name in tree. The find as you type feature however still uses the ticker symbol (which in the case of the database i use -Stoxtrend,Viratech , India)is a plain 8 digit number that i have no hope of remembering. Thankfully the database provides full name details in symbol information.

thanks to this forum i've managed to get full name in chart title. Now if someone can help with getting the find as u type feature to work on Fullname, AND/OR the symbol search (F3) to do the same. I'll be grateful.

My cup of joy will overflow if someone can help getting full name to show on chart TAB. Thanks very much.
