[amibroker] Re: How do I update my ticker list?

["bistrader" <bistrader@xxxxxxxxx>]

You can load tls and csv via Amiquote (AQ).  Both are txt files.  Both work even though tls is the standard.

One way it to copy and paste your Word tickers into Excel, make sure all tickers are in column A with nothing else in column B, etc.,and then save as whatever.csv.  Then, open in AQ and use as csv from now on or save thru AQ as tls file.

If your new text file of symbols is a lot different than in AmiBroker (AB) today, then you could clean up current database.  There are lots of ways to do this.  You could even create a new database for your new ticker tls or csv file and then just copy/paste your watchlist directory over to your new database.  This is just one way of cleaning up tickers (starting over that is).  The more you know about AB the more alternatives available.

Hope this helps.
