Maybe this will help, I use this one for what you are asking. If i recall someone was kind enough to post this and something close to it is in that PDF TJ mentioned. Once you get a handle on the ATC function it can do some really neat stuff (ie market indicators,composites, etc..) and much of it is covered in the PDF.

Subject: [amibroker] Charting ATC sectors
Hi all,
Looking for a bit of help.I am attempting to use ATC so I can chart the
Industry and Sub Industries form Quotes Plus.I know I have to use
ATC,but I am clearly doing something wrong as I am creating watchlists
that are blank..Tomaz instructed me to read pg 15 in the ATC manual
which is what I did and it isnt working..Isnt there a simple way of
running ATC and having the 10 sectors and 150 subsectors created so you
can chart them and see volume?
Thanks
Allan
