See Change (that name sounds familiar)
There is a script file and csv file for putting the asx stocks into their
respective sectors and industries. I use an excel file and download the
listings from asx website regularly to update.
The broker files ( broker.sector and broker.industries ) contain the
information for names of the sectors and industries and need to be setup for
asx. Although I have found that some industry groups get mixed up with wrong
industry name, but easily changed as below. (eg I get banks listed in
insurance industry and insurance tickers listed in banks industry)
Names of groups, sectors etc can be manually changed by clicking on them in
the workspace similar to doing it in windows file explorer.
I can email these files to you directly if you like.
I also run an afl to move all stocks with data, and any non shares tickers
to separate groups so that when running scans on all stocks I can easily
exclude unwanted tickers. I recently posted this to reefcap forum.
Indices should be manually (don't know any other way to automate this)
nominated as index by using the Symbol - Information window. Tick box in
bottom corner for the index.
Hope this helps a bit
Cheers,
Graham

Subject: Understanding Categories was: Re: [amibroker] Importing data into
Amibroker
Hi Tomasz
I'm going through the same process as Collectable..
I have an ASX metastock data base which I've been updating using
Bohdi Freeway . I don't have metastock so I'm not used to using
their data base and how it's structured. In my ASX folder in my
metastock database there is a folder for each letter and an addition
several numbered ones at the start. I have Bohdi Freeway which I use
for my current charting program ( Ezycharts ) and the last time I
reinstalled it I set up the metastock data base as I knew I would be
moving onto another program ( Amibroker ...:) )
I set up a new data base as per instructions , I assume what you
call it doesn't matter.
In the data settings I set up the data source as "metastock r data
plug in.
I then went into configure and opened each of the sub folders in my
ASX folder , clicked on the MASTER file in each of these sub
folders. These have all been added into the " Configure metastock
data plug in window "
I then highlighted each individual listing in this window in turn
and pressed the retrieve button.
I've set the data to 4000, and pressed " OK"
All of the shares and indices I have are listed in the "tree" but
they're not fully organised. At this stage every thing is in "All" ,
but all of my ASX shares / indices are under " Markets" in a NYSE
folder.
Under Groups , I have one group ,a Group O folder , which again
contains all of the ASX shares and indices.
Sectors has a Services Folder with a sub folder of Advertising which
again contains all my shares and indices.
Watch list / favourites are empty as I expected, but also indices is
empty.
I would like to changee the NYSE folder to ASX, and I would also
like to set up a correct "Sector" break up as well as having the
indices in their correct place .
I'd like to continue using Bohdi Freeway . Once I have the Amibroker
data base organised, do I just download Bohdi as per normal. One
button is nice , and it also updates my other Data bases
