When I create a new watchlist, it lands at the bottom of a long list of watchlists named List1, List2, etc., so I must constantly scroll down to find mine. I tried using "hide empty lists", but that hides my lists if they happen to be empty at that moment.
It would be nice if I could hide all that I don't use while keeping mine visible, even if mine are sometimes empty. Would it be a mistake to just delete all that I don't use?
Thanks for any clues.
@JohnHoward, you can delete them as needed, but usually the easiest thing to do is to use the existing watchlists, populating them as per your needs and then simply renaming them.
Just keep in mind that if you delete a watchlist and use a formula that uses functions that refer to a watchlist with a number - such as CategoryGetName () - you may need to change the formula in case the desired watchlist has changed position as a result of deletions.
You can reorganise the watchlist index by opening it in a text editor. I only ever do so with Amibroker CLOSED at the time (not sure if it matters).
My WL index is located at: "C:\Program Files (x86)\AmiBroker\NorgateData\WatchLists\index.txt"
@Chris25, it does matter, so definitely AB needs to be closed when you do this.
Also remember that the exploration project files (.apx) actually use the WL number in the background. So if you reorder your lists, it's possible that you will also have to change the filter criteria in your apx files.
To change the order of your watchlists, under “Symbol” menu there are “Categories” where you can move your watchlists up and down.
Thanks to all. Changing the order WLs are listed in works perfectly.
