Re: [amibroker] HELP - New User - Data set-up

Hi,
I've added about 200 LSE stocks to my database of 
mainly US stocks and I can tell you that there is no 
difference if you download from Yahoo using AmiQuote. 
I've not categorized my LSE stocks yet so they are 
identified / "grouped" only by their *.L extension.
UM

Hi, I've just found the AmiBroker web site and I'm
considering buying 
the software today.

Before I make my decision, I'm trying to find the answers to a
few 
questions.

1. Is there in easy way that I can set-up my data so that lists all 
of the London Stock Exchange (LSE) stocks and also automatically puts 
them into their correct sectors and sub-sectors?  I'm hoping that 
somebody has a file somewhere listing all of the stocks that I can 
import and somehow have the stocks automatically categorised into 
their relative sectors?

2. Can I achieve the same for the major USA indices?

3. Given that I'm primarily interested in UK stocks, does anybody 
have any experience of downloading the EOD data for the LSE?  How 
easy/automated is it?


In short, I guess what I'm looking for is a tried and tested
method 
of setting my data so that I have all of the UK & USA stocks in their 
respective indices and sectors.

I've spent a little time searching this newsgroup but I don't
seem to 
be able to find a definitive answer.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Arold
