It is easy. Do you have a csv or tls file with tickers in first column? If so, then open AB, go to watchlist, erase watchlist with mouse, import into watchlist from your csv or tls file via mouse. --- In amibroker@yahoogroups.com, "wernkra" wrote: > > Thanks for the reply. > > Unfortunately

Sure. Place tickers you want in first column of either csv (via Excel) or tls (via Text editor or AmiQuote). Open AmiBroker, go to watchlist, right click and erase. Then, right click and import from the csv (or tls) file you created. --- In amibroker@yahoogroups.com, "wernkra" wrote: > > Hi

The scan file is probably calling the old WatchList file. You may need to edit the scan file to change the WatchList file being called. Regards, Alan wernkra wrote: > > Alan, > > thanks for your help. > > Again I made some progress (g). > > I did what you suggested. I went to ANALYSIS and then D

Alan, thanks for your help. Again I made some progress (g). I did what you suggested. I went to ANALYSIS and then DEFINE and unselected the old ticker file and selected the new one. Seemed to be working fine. BUT: The analysis is NOT done on the new file, it is still done on the OLD file. I ca

Alan, thanks for your help. I got a little further: Your guess was right: AQ could not read the file because at the end of each symbol the "comma" was missing. After inserting a comma after each symbol, at least I have the list now in AQ and saved it in the WATCHLIST location of AB. Unfortuna

I tried the steps on this end as I wrote them and all worked well here. It must be the ASCII file. Does the tickers have a comma after each one? If not add the comma and try again. Regards, Alan wernkra wrote: > > Thanks for the reply. > > Unfortunately it did not work. > > < > Click Open > > T

Hi Alan, thanks for your comments. I did what you proposed. I got that far: Yes, I found the watchlist and AmiQuote opened. Unfortunately I can not save a whole "new file" (which I have in ASCII as a separate file) in AQ. It only gives me the option to type in the new symbols one by one (comma

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
