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

Hello,

1. & 2. Such database template exists for US markets http://www.amibroker.com/docs/ab305.html
but it does not exist for LSE.
A list of tickers in LSE is available from yahoo:
http://finance.yahoo.com/l?s=.L&t=S&m=%27%27

3. As with any non-US market Yahoo allows to get 200 quotes per symbol in one run.
So you can get roughly one year of data for all 4400+ LSE symbols at once,
if you need longer history you would need to download it in several 'chunks'.

Hope this helps.

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
