Re: [amibroker] Addtocomposite - counting totals in a watchlist

Here's one way but I think it's going to depend on what operation you're in. Is 
it AA, then you can count each symbol as you step through it.  If you're using 
the custom backtester then I don't know. 

Here's a clip from years past. Pull the list of symbols then count them within 
the FOR loop. 

JOE



list = CategoryGetSymbols( categoryWatchlist, 63 );

pop=0;

for( i = 0; ( sym = StrExtract( list, i ) ) != ""; i++ )

   {

pop=POP+1;

}

Plot(pop,"",5,2);

to plot the population pop of a WL63. The result will be a flat line,

which is not correct when you have missing data, shorter or longer

histories.

  Hey all - is there anyway to count the number of symbols in a
  watchlist? I want to make an AddtoComposite-created index a % rather
  than a hard number. Is there a function to do this?

  Thanks!
