Re: [amibroker] Re: Updating an Ami ASX Database for the new S&P GICS Indices

Thanks Geoff,
    The instructions and files
worked a treat, everything in it's proper
pace now.
I'll check out that address and see if I can
work out my own indexs

 Hi,
Yes I did mean flag as an Index. You also need to ensure that in
Stocks -> Categories you have all the industries set to their correct
base index. eg Materials base index is XMJ etc.
Re your question on top down analysis you'll need to restrict it
to
the indices provided. In the case of the banks you can use XXJ
which
is XFJ (Finance) less XPJ (Property Trusts).
To get to a lower level you'd need to create your own indices.
I'm running 3.9 Ami but I understand there are features in 4.0x
that
support the creation of indices. I'll upgrade and see what can
be
done.
Have a look at www.spglobal.com/gics_Australia_June2001.pdf for
a
complete discussion of the indices.
