Hi,
Need a little help with the Basic Watchlist.I understand what it does,but I do not sure what its limitations are.It appears the options for Symbols:Add a condition are fixed.
Where I am a bit confused is when I click on examples.It appears Search and Check are the 2 names that are applied.Is there any info on what can be checked/searched in the basic watchlist?
Where can one read so they understand the syntax and can set their own filters?
The basic watchlist creates a watchlist from conditions applied to symbols in your database (Symbols Selection).
The "Symbols Selection" control is used in almost all other plug-ins (Simulator, Screener, Optimizer...)
You can add a condition by clicking on "Add a condition"
These conditions are applied to symbols (not historical data)
Example:
Industry of a symbol
Last close price (Automatically associated with a symbol when you download EOD data)
I understand the 3 Watchlists and the way they work,.I was wondering if you could program any condition you want,but it appears one cant in the Basic Watchlist.Only in the Dynamic Watchlist can you code any condition.
After working with the Basic Watchlist some more,it appears the options in the watchlist are "limited" by the 12 conditions,i.e group,market,sector.When you select a condition,you than have various options you can select.As an example if I add the quote condition,I have the option to select such fields as close,last day volume,avg 5 day volume.But I couldnt add avg 3 day volume as it is not a pre coded option.Is that correct?
Would you be please give a simple example using the And operator?I understand what it is,but it seems redundant unless I am using it incorrectly.If I add 3 conditions,isnt "and" automatically used?
Example:
Condition1: Stocks whose name start with "a"
Condition2: Stocks whose name start with "b"
You will get 0 stocks.
However, if you set the "AND" operator between these two conditions then you will get stocks whose name start with "a" and stocks whose name start "b".
hi
I cannot select the option "analyze on each incoming tick"(when i create or update a dynamic watchlist), I remember that I was able to do that in the past, what is going on?
Trading financial instruments, including foreign exchange on margin, carries a high level of risk and is not suitable for all investors. The high degree of leverage can work against you as well as for you. Before deciding to invest in financial instruments or foreign exchange you should carefully consider your investment objectives, level of experience, and risk appetite. The possibility exists that you could sustain a loss of some or all of your initial investment and therefore you should not invest money that you cannot afford to lose. You should be aware of all the risks associated with trading and seek advice from an independent financial advisor if you have any doubts.
