Automatically import watchlist

AFL Programming

I understand how to manually import a watchlist from a list of csv file. I have also searched and read through the forums on this topic including Working with watch lists

But couldn't find this specific issue answered. I specifically need to import from csv or txt to watchlist and not necessarily import the scan/exploration to a watchlist.

I am wondering if there is an automated method to import a watchlist using OLE object code?

I understand that simply saving a .tls file with tickers in the watchlist folder is not recommended and for me, amibroker doesn't seem to recognize a properly named file just inserted into this location without proper setup.

thanks in advance.

If you place file in ticker list (.tls) in Watch List folder it WILL recognize it without need to import it at all (but it reads new files at STARTUP, not while it is already running)

If you want to force AmiBroker to re-read watch lists files WHILE AmiBroker is running you can do so using Application.LoadWatchlists() OLE method
