I don't know a way to do it by name without writing custom software but if
you get a list of tickers then you're home free.

>
> Hello,

> I'm trying to figure a faster way to add all symbols from a
> particular industry into a watchlist. I have an exploration

> in those industries. The code would look something like this:
>
> //Explore on watchlist "Industries"
> IndName=[Symbol Name];
> CategoryGetSymbols(categoryIndustry,IndName);
>
> Now, this won't work for a couple reasons: 1) I don't know
> how to reference the [Symbol Name], and 2) the
> CategoryGetSymbols() function needs a number for the index
> parameter. So, I would need a way to reference the industry
> name (provided in the watchlist) and relate that name to its
> proper numerical index.

> This certainly doesn't have to be the solution. I'm just
> looking for a way to add all the stocks from a particular
> industry into a watchlist without having to
> "right-click/Watchlist/Add selected symbol to watchlist".
>
> Thank you very much for any help you can provide.
