I tried to write a macro driver for loading symbols from a list one by
one under TS6. The macro kept stalling so I gave in and bought a couple
months of RINA systems Portfolio Stream which basically does the same
thing.
There is a forum that addresses the issue of using a macro to step
through symbols in TSWorld. Here is a post and a reponse from a TS
employee:
--------------------------------------------
I have struggled with exactly the same requirement that Progster has
detailed - to be able to automatically submit a list of symbols to a
given chart analysis and save the performance report for each symbol.
The keystroke macros I have tried just don't quite make it. As you may
know, RINA Systems sells what is basically a keystroke generator for
$2000 or $200/month that does the same thing (with some nifty
reporting). Since a strategy must be tested (and retested) on multiple
markets (sometimes 100s), this fuctionality would be a key extention of
the TS chart analysis, and I was suprised to find it missing in TS6.
Providing a batch capability is a common extention of good optimization
software. Question: does this capability exist in TS7, and if not, when
will it be implemented?
Welcome to TradeStationWorld and thank you for the feedback. Portfolio
Testing is a feature we plan on having in the future. At this time, I do
not have a release date on when it will be available.
Thank you,

Here are a couple archived messages from the Omega list that address the
same issue:

Question: Does anyone have a macro generator that can load a list of
symbols into a chart study? Or, a least know a good macro generator
that might be capable of doing so? The Rina Systems people claim it is
very difficult to generate the correct keystoke sequence.
