Thanks
heaps William! That's just the sort of thing I was looking
for
<FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff

The
composites issue gives rise to another thought...the composites here seem to all
start with "~". Is it possible to perform one scan that moves such symbols to
one group, then (in the same script) another that moves remaining stocks over 6
characters to the Options/Warrants group (or would you do it the other way
around...or am I simply getting carried away)?
Eg
<FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff
size=2>(I
know the first character identification is wrong, and strongly suspect the
nesting is incorrect too),
<FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff
size=2>
//
---------------- mod script start
------------------------------------
<FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff
size=2>{ oStock = oStocks( i ); oTicker =
oStock.Ticker;
<FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff
size=2> if( oTicker.length == 6 ) /* Change the ticker length here
*/ { oStock.GroupID = 254; /*Change the GroupID here
*/ }if(oTicker.left(1)=="~"); /* My pathetic
approximation of identifying the first character :^)
<FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff
size=2>{
<FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff
size=2> oStock.GroupID = 253; /*Change the GroupID here
*/<FONT face=Arial
color=#0000ff size=2>}
}
//
---------------- mod script end
------------------------------------

What I have done is filter my incoming data download into separate>
databases as I only trade shares and warrants. The options do not>
download at all.> I then have separated databases in Amibroker for
shares/indices, and> another for warrants.>

>Hi
All,<SPAN
>For
some time I've been deleting ASX options and warrants after
theirimport into AB's database, since I felt there was little
need tohandle them if I didn't intend to trade them. For one
reason oranother I've decided to start keeping them, but am
finding the manualjob of sorting them into separate groups from
Stocks extremely tedious(Symbol/Organize assignments). This
raises two questions:1) Is it acceptable practice to sort
both Options and Warrants intoone group and Stocks into another,
or is it more desirable to alsosplit Options and Warrants into
their own separate groups (forscanning as distinct entities due
to predictable differences inbehaviour or handling
etc)?2) Tomasz provided a script (attached) some time ago
with which todelete ASX warrants and options, since it filters
based on the numberof characters in the symbols name (ASX stocks
have 3 character codes,options and warrants have 6 characters)
before deleting the latter. Ipresume this script could be
modified to perform a groupID change(rather then DELETE) if the
first scenario above was deemedacceptable. I also presume it
could even be modified to separateoptions and warrants giventhat
warrants (as far as I know) contain"W" as the fourth character in
their codes, if the second scenarioabove was deemed preferrable.
Unfortunately, after looking at theattached script and the
documentation, I can see I'm a long way offfrom learning the
solution that way. I thought there had been previousdiscussion on
this issue quite some time ago, but Yahoo searches havecome up
empty. I'm very curious to know what other ASX users are doingthe
handle this issue, what solutions you may have in place, and
whatcomments you care to make about this issue in
general.Any and all feedback greatly
appreciated.Regards,
Mark<SPAN
