What is the best practice for excluding stocks from a backtest?

I read in AB forum I could add the following to the code ….

Exclude = Name() == “FGX.au”;

I’ve also tried creating a custom exclude list on Norgate data, which I think would be the best way … can it be done?

Haven’t yet got mine to work. Below are the steps I took, I used the search function for stocks but I can’t select them.

Hi Kate,

For the stocks that I want excluded I just create a watchlist and use the Exclude tab in the filter settings to exclude that watchlist.

If it is something that isn’t going to change much, just create a watchlist with one stock in it, close AmiBroker, open the watchlist using notepad or wordpad from your drive, delete the stock and past the ones in there that you want and then save it. Open AmiBroker again.

I find if I do it with AmiBroker open the changes to the watchlist don’t save.
