Your questions falls under category of "SMS style" and is unclear. Please follow this: How to ask a good question

If I were to answer it as it is now, I would say: if you don't want to download quotes, don't run auto-update. Because auto-update actually means download and import.

I believe I know what chunwai is asking. Let me try (since this bothers me as well): Whenever I select Tools>Auto-update quotes ...., it immediately begins downloading quotes for all equities in my active watchlist. This will happen even after I have already downloaded all the quotes I desire, except for one or a few equities that I have just now added by placing them in the equity bar at the top of the AB window. I would much rather Tools>Auto-update quotes patiently wait for me to tell it exactly what I want it to do. If I do want all files to be updated, it takes only one more simple mouse click on my part, GreenArrow.

If I add a new symbol. I simply open amiquote separately. Could keep it as shortcut or a simple windows key+amiquote search gets me going then I manually add symbol.

Could save the list as a .tls file and load it manually into amiquote and use it that way.

I write a js script can remove all zero volume quotes from yahoo database. But it is little slow.


//db_path == "c:\\Program Files (x86)\\AmiBroker\\YahooHK"
//AB.LoadDatabase("c:\\Program Files (x86)\\AmiBroker\\YahooHK"
	
     AB = new ActiveXObject("Broker.Application");
	 db_path = AB.DatabasePath;
	 	 if (db_path == "c:\\Program Files (x86)\\AmiBroker\\yahoohk_adj"){
			var tickerList = AB.Stocks.GetTickerList(1);
			var arr = tickerList.split(',')
			for (var j= 0;j < arr.length;j++){
				 	 Stk = AB.Stocks( arr[j] );
			 	 	 Quotes = Stk.Quotations;
	    			 iQty = Quotes.Count;
	    			 cnt = 0; 						
					 	for( i = iQty - 1; i >= 0; i-- )
				    	 {
					        qt = Quotes.Item( i );
					        if( qt.Volume == 0 || qt.Low > qt.Close) 
					        { 
					           cnt++;
					           Quotes.Remove( i );
					        }
				     	}
				   if (j == arr.length-1)	
				     WScript.Echo ( "Removed " + arr[j] + " quotes with zero volume" );				
				}
	          AB.RefreshAll();

	 	}else{
			 WScript.Echo ( "Database is not YahooHK" );		
		}

Or you can help me improve these code.
