Amibroker – How To Make A Watchlist

Amibroker is probably one of the best “bang for your buck” charting and system testing packages out there.  However, even though it is not expensive, it can take a bit of time to learn how to use it properly.

In this Amibroker tutorial, we are going to show you how to create a Watchlist.  Watchlists can be extremely useful if you want to group a bunch of stocks together to look at them easily.  It is also very useful when we want to automatically test our trading system rules over a range of stocks to see how well it works.

How To Make A Watchlist In Amibroker

  • In the main pane of Amibroker on the left go to the Symbols Tab.
  • There you will see lists like Markets, Groups, Sectors.  Click on the little arrow next to the Watchlists tab
  • Select the list number you want to fill with your stocks, and right click.
  • Select Type In Symbols
  • Type in the symbols you want, separated by a comma.  An example would be CBA, WBC, NAB and ANZ.

You have your first watch list!

You can rename your watchlist by left clicking on the list again.  It will turn blue and you can type a new name in and press enter to save it.
