Hi Mike, first of all thank you for your answers! Please find my comments below.
The rest of you answer need more reading and experimenting. ;-) Radek On Sun, Mar 15, 2009 at 12:47 PM, Mike <sfclimb...@yahoo.com> wrote: > > --- In amibroker@yahoogroups.com, Radek Simcik <radek.sim...@...> wrote: > > > > Hi all, > > > > I am new to AmiBroker so my questions might have simple answers but I have > > not found them anywhere ... > > > > 1) Can I add text column to the exploration result based on the value either > > of buy/short.

And it seems to me that I cannot. Although I cannot see why not IIF is for an arrays and writeif for single variable. It looks like an array element cannot be text, just a number value. > > > 3) Can I have an exploration like: Give me 10 stocks with highest H-O ???

I thought I would use this Top10 feature in case I want use just this Top10 for next exploration/backtesting. So I need to save it as a watch list and then I can use it. I do know it has a solution, I was just looking for something that could be automated.
