The way I did it with IBD 100 and TC2000 tickers and maybe a start for you would be to go to
 
Symbol, Watchlist, Import, Select Watchlist to receive tickers,
 
then point to the 'from' file where the IBD 100 tickers are stored as CSV text. 
This way you'll get that week's IBD 100 stored in a WL.

As a thank you to TJ. Because we like AB, and everybody tries to do
his/her part in sharing knowledge/ideas, but mainly to relieve him
from support, so he can focus on the next upgrade.

Create a CSV-table with headings in row 1, tickers in col1 and
required nrs of group, market, etc in following cols. Looks like this:

Ticker, IndustryNr, MarketNr
MSFT, 1, 1
INTL, 2, 2
etc.

Then create and save a "import-format"file in Amibroker\Formats like
below (see also existing files, and read the manual):

$FORMAT Ticker, GroupID(), MarketID()
$SKIPLINES 1
$SEPARATOR ,
$OVERWRITE 1
$AUTOADD 1
$NOQUOTES 1

Run this file via AB ASCII import. Done.

Report is only applicable for backtest (i.e. after you've run a BT).
