Do I have to go the amiquotes route in order to assign sector and industry
to eSignal tickers?

I am still sourcing info to determine the best places on the net to
get symbols and symbol updates.. there are a few errors in the
files..but will be posting an update in the next week or two to fix it...
As for importing the csv files :
Before you do anything...
Under your Amibroker installation directory.. you will need to go into
the Formats Folder.. There will be a file called import.types. You
need to edit that file and add the following line to end of the file :
Symbol (*.*)|*.*|symbolonly.format
Create a new file called symbolonly.format and put the following lines
in it :
$FORMAT Fullname,Ticker,Market,Skip,Industry
$SKIPLINES 0
$SEPARATOR ,
$DEBUG 1
$BREAKONERR 0
$AUTOADD 1
$NOQUOTES 1
$OVERWRITE 0
Then take the brokers.sectors and brokers.industries and copy to your
Amibroker install directory(i.e. C:\AmiBroker\).
After that.. Open up AmiBroker. Best to create a new database in order
to get the approprioate sector and industries....Then under Files
there is Import Ascii.. Choose that and then choose the amisymbls.csv
and it should import the symbols in.
The mapping files need to be copied and pasted into amiquote in order
to d/l the quotes from yahoo or msn via AmiQuote.
Hope that helps to get you started...
