Re: [amibroker] Finding Industry Ticker for Stock Using TC2005 Data

["Steve Dugas" <sjdugas@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I don't think you can do this via AFL code, because the industry name and 
number is not the same as the MGxxx ticker which represents the industry 
group average. But, I explained how this can be done today in an earlier 
post - just look back through today's messages.
