Re: [amibroker] Re: Using Jim's tickers... with some cutomization

Hi Brian,

Here is what I am trying to do:

1) I opened Jim's .XLS file and I selected each tickers in a specific industry;
2) Then I copy-paste this to a .txt file;
3) I import the file in watchlist 0;
4) I use CategoryAddSymbol( "", categoryIndustry, 2 ); to put it to the correct industry  (BTW, is it normal if categorysector is NOT supported by my Amibroker??);
5) Then I move what is in watchlist 0 to watchlist 1;

Then I do this again and again...  But for more than 200 industries, that's a long way to go, not talking about been unable to put the correct sectors or markets!

What do you think about this?

Thanks!

Louis

Try this:

a) convert CSV lists >> text file
b) import to Watchlists
c) use categoryAddSymbol to move from WL to Markets/Groups/Sectors

(as per "SetUp A Custom Database/Nasdaq" at the UKB

I think it is also possible using AFL (even within AB) but others
could help you more with that than yours truly.
