Something I do is this, and it can be useful in many circumstances.
Create a Watch List with all the symbols you want to filter.
Such as all Mutual Funds, and another list of all your indexes.
Then assign a variable as follows to each filter
mCEFfilter= InWatchListName( "CLOSED END
Is this becoming a useless source for data?
Lately I'm getting large numbers of symbols coming up N/A on the
Daily update (done late at night).
The data is present in the historical download.

Sorry, but this layout thing is quite annoying, not intuitive, and

I create a new database and it forces the existing layout. Can't
figure out how to start with a BLANK LAYOUT, not linked to layouts
used in other databases.
Poor design.

Using datenum()

Have a collection of custom indicators in a sheet. (The sheet is in
the hidden d&d folder)
I want to copy these and resave under a new name, in the custome folder
AB will not let me rename the afl sheet it uses. It reverts back to
the original name automatically.
Whats the problem?
I have two databases, both are using the same layout and template
(and the same .afl file out of the drag and drop dir) .
All I want to do is rename the afl to something and resave the LOCAL

Every time I try this, it fails

Would like to plot the last stock split (as text) on the chart on
the day it occurred.
I'm sure this is a one or two liner, but can't quite pull it together.
Would use :
GetFnData( "LastSplitDate" )
GetFnData( "LastSplitRatio")
as data inputs.
Not sure why such damage was done since all the files seem intact.
All my drag and drop afl files are there.
Not very robust.

Any way to do this now? Does not look like it.
Good luck trying to impost an entire db that way.
Theres a limit to the number of symbols.

Maybe you're right, thats why I haven't gotten an answer to the
simple question about plotting.
I'll have to rejoin the group as HumbleManPleaseHelpMe. Look for me.
I have also said on more than one occasion that I think the program
is quite powerful and useful.
That has nothing to do with any bugs, difficult and opaque methods,
etc, that I may comment on.

If I add a new symbol to the database, that has lets say 2 years of

Simplest things are wasting my time here.
I want to save the structure of the window, the embedded indicators,
etc.
Saving the layout does not do this.
How are you supposed to safely save a layout so that it can be
recovered.
The docs are not clear.
Wasn't able to figure out how, and it would be a very neat way to
create a pdf chart book, and multiple charts per page, for those that
have a pdf driver installed.

Wanting to setup Groups based on s&p 500 , Dow, etc.
Read through the docs, but can't find a built in way of doing this

Can I assume you have to write some AFL code that reads a list?
If so, I'm sure it's been done, and would appreciate it.
Yes, that works. Thanks very much.
