Lists are collections of values of a certain data type, such as a collection of numbers or dates.
A list is a simple list of items. You can use lists for a wide variety of needs, from storing a large list of earnings dates on which you want to avoid trading to storing a large list of price levels at which you want to submit buy or sell orders.
It is usually better to use a list instead of a one-dimensional array unless you need to use certain functions that the Quagensia® Desktop Application makes available only for arrays or you need to integrate with external code that uses arrays. The number one reason to use a list instead of a single-dimensional array is that your code should perform better, i.e. run faster and use less of your computer’s resources, if you need to add or remove items from a very large list. The larger the list and the more frequently you need to add or remove items, the more important it is to use a list instead of a single-dimensional array. Note that there is no list equivalent to a multi-dimensional array, so if you need multi-dimensional functionality you will need to use an array instead of a list.
To learn more about using this feature, either press the F1 key with your mouse pointer over any item, or place your mouse pointer over either the label next to any editable field or the icon in the right or upper right of any item and a tooltip will appear.
The following advanced tutorial on lists and loops was made for Quagensia N Edition, but can be followed almost word-for-word in Quagensia T Edition as well.
