Thank you all for your replies.
Creating a database from TeleChart does pull up and map the
Industries to stocks. I need to correct myself in that I'm using
TeleChart 2005 - their latest version.
As far as I can figure it out (and as Graham pointed out),
GetBaseIndex pulls up the symbol that has been manually input into
the "Base indexes for Relative Strength" field in Symbol-Categories-
Industries. If there is nothing there then GetBaseIndex doesn't seem
to work.
So I added a few MG symbols and it seems to work fine - Thanks Dan.
However, I was wondering if there is a way to program in AFL to be
able to pull these symbols without manually entering all 239 of
them. This would make any database updates or re-installs so much
simpler and reduce errors due to entering the data by hand. An AFL
solution would also take care of any re-classifications by MG (Media
General).
I should point out that the MG Industry symbol is part of the
Industry list automatically created when setting up the database.
For example, working my way down from the Sector category -
Sectors - Tobacco - Cigarettes
This list contains the following symbols
BTI
CG
GLH
ITY
MG351
MO
RAI
STSI
VGR
Let's say we are looking at BTI.
Would it be possible to have AFL look at the Industry list that BTI
is in and then go down that list to pull the MG industry symbol
(MG351)?
Really appreciate your help.
