Louis - Let's start at the beginning -

1. Who is your data provider? Different providers can use different industry structures and use different tickers for their industry indexes.

2. Can you give a couple of examples? Give me 3 stock tickers, the industries they belong to, and the ticker symbols for those industries..

To get the info if you don't know it, try running an Exploration on this code and sorting on the different columns...

AddColumn( IndustryID( 0 ), "Industry Number", 1.0 );

AddTextColumn( IndustryID( 1 ), "Industry Name" );

Hi,

I don't understand what Graham posted to be honest... I 'd need some examples I think.

I don't understand the

SectorIndex = "^XYZ"; // default if not specified below
if(sectorID()==1) SectorIndex = "^ABCD";
if(sectorID()==2) SectorIndex = "^EFGH";
etc

part at all. Hmm.. What does the 1 or 2 stand for? How to use the sectorid thing? I don't understand this, even after looking at the "manual" (which should have more examples)

Really, I think I must confuse everyone with this. This is very very simple, really more simple than what everyone seems to think.

What you told me was a good start Steve. What I'd need now is a way to use the foreign command to get the industry index I chose for each stock.

Thanks,

Louis

See the code Graham just posted. IndustryID() function works for industries same way that SectorID() function works for sectors. There is also a MarketID() function for markets...

Hi Steve,

Thanks for this information; at least I understand partly now how the getbaseindex works...

Is there any way to get the other things.. I mean: how do you use the foreign command to get the industry (considering that I did use getbaseindex for market)? I looked at your previous message but I was not sure. Is it possible to write something like "foreign (IndustryID, "C")"? How to get that second information?

Thanks!!

Louis

2008/2/16, Steve Dugas <sjdugas@xxxxxxxxxxx>:

Louis - you can only use BaseIndex() for *one* category - you must choose either groups, industries, sectors or markets. Then you must find another method to get the other things. That is what my codes do. Here is TJ's answer to a question that I asked him years ago...

Steve,

The order in which AmiBroker looks up for base index is:

Group

Industry

Market

Preferences

(the first found is used, so in your case Industry setting will take precedence)

Subject: [amibroker] TJ - base indexes

Hi,

What happens if I set up Base Indexes for industries and also for markets?

I have already set up the Base Indexes for my indusries, so now, for example, if I am viewing an Auto Parts stock, AB automatically uses the Auto Parts index to calculate RelStrength. If I now set up Base Indexes for my markets, which one will be used in the calculation, , the industry index or the market index? Sorry to ask before trying it, but I have discovered that AB will not let me blank out these fields after filling them in - or is there something special that I need to do?. Thanks very much!

Steve

Hi,

In fact, I want to use baseindex both for market and industry. I really have trouble explaining what I need. I thought it was clear but maybe I just don't know how to say it. I will try again.

I need BOTH market index and industry index.

You are right; I want to assign the industry/sector stock by stock. It is very long, but once it is done it is done.

So, basically, what I need is very very very simple: I want to be able to assign a variable for the base index and another variable for the industry index. That's it. Really, I just can't explain it in any other way. If someone could simply tell me what is the correct 2 lines code for that (e.g. Foreign (IndustryID, "C") etc.) and that's ll be allright! I am sure there is someone out there who knows how to do this!

This is really not complicated:

variable a = (market index)
variable b = (industry index)

Considering I already entered the specific indexes for each stock by clicking on the stock and clicking "information" and choosing the right category for each stock.

Thanks,

Louis

2008/2/16, Steve Dugas <sjdugas@xxxxxxxxxxx>:

Louis - I think what you may want to do is use BaseIndex to assign the industry, since there are lots of them. It takes an hour or so to set it up but works great afterwards. Then you can use other AFL like Foreign(), etc for simpler task of retrieving Sector, Market, etc. I don't know who your data provider is but I wrote some code a few years ago that does what you want for TC2K data, which you may find helpful. To get the code, go to the AmiBroker-AFL Yahoo group, files section, Steve Dugas folder, download Relative Performance.zip and look through the codes. It has been a few years, but I will try to help if you have questions about the codes.

Hi Brian,

Thank you for your help. There was some confusion with my messages. As I said earlier, english is not my first language so maybe I was not clear enough. What I want to do is the same thing from the start: find a way to assign a variable that will give me me the sector or industry index, like I am already able to do with the base index.

Right now, I can double-click on the stock, and enter indu.x for the base index, and let's say xau.x for the industry index, but whatever I do, I just can't use that industry index. I need to manually enter "foreign ("xau.x, "c")" which is not good because I want to build a system based on that on which I would be able to assign a variable for the base index AND a variable for the industry index.

I just need to understand how to make it possible. When I use the "getbaseindex" I can only get the market index (indu.x, comp.x, etc.); I would like to know how to get the industry index or the sector index which I already entered at the correct place.

I am really sorry if I made your head spin with this. I thought I explaine the problem correctly at first, but now I realize that it wasn't all that clear!

Thanks for your help!

Louis,

The problem is you started out wanting to plot three symbols in one
chart, then you wanted to make it automatic (based on the stock
chosen) and now you want to manipulate variables as well.

When people started to answer one of those questions you didn't go
with them.

Also, you are trying to do complex things without outstanding the
basics. I am not really a coder. I only get things done because I try
to understand the basics and keep it simple.

I don't know where to start to try to help you because you are making
my head spin.

I can try to help you with the first part - at least you will see
three symbols plotted in one chart to get a feel for what you are
trying to do.

Perhaps you have already done this but I'm doing it for my benefit (I
am trying to find your starting line).

Using three symbols from Yahoo as the example - ^OEX for the market,
^XAU for the gold index and ABX Barrick GoldCorp as the stock.

1) Make ^OEX the current chart.
2) Go to Charts >> Basic >> RelativePerformance and double click on
it.
3) Enter ^XAU and ABX in the parameters input box that opens OR right
click in the chart and select parameters to do enter the symbols.

If you right click inside the chart and select Edit Formula you can
see the code Tomasz used to create the chart.

First yoy need to understand how he made the plots relative to each
other by standardizing to the close value on the first bar.

Then you could do three symbol charts yourself by using plotforeign
twice and adding code to find the first bar close then calculating
and plotting them relative to the first bar close of one of them.

If you are OK with that someone might be around to help you with step
2 (Patrick already showed one promising way in).

Theres always more than one way to do things.
