[amibroker] Exploring and charting industry groups...

[<trader@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

All,

Currently, I'm using AddToComposite to create synthetic tickers for Industry
Groups and Sectors. The overall algorithm is to sum the OHLC values for each
security and then divide this number by the count of the number of
securities in each industry group. Straightforward, but difficult to do with
AddToComposite because the count for each of the industry groups won't be
known until AFTER the completion of the compositing Scan.

That means dividing the algorithm into two Scans: creation of the Industry
Group security counts and creation of each Industry Group composite. At a
minimum, this requires two scans and twice as many composite symbols as
there are Industry Groups!

So my question becomes, is there a way to somehow persist counts for each of
the industry groups without using lots and lots of synthetic symbols?
Alternately, is there a way to organize these symbols in another group
(default is 253) or delete them programmatically? Creating temporary symbols
between scans for calculations would make the above solution more tolerable
since I could remove the counts when done with them.

Thanks for the help!
