Subject: Surrogate index Structure
I found in your files a list of 25 stocks that could be as a surrogate structure for the OEX. I found only 24 of the files on this list in your list of files available for generating indices. The name of the file has a symbol of "HIG" and the name "Hartford Finl Svcs". Perhaps the structure has been changed or this file name. Or has this stock been overlooked by accident. I would like to make the S&P 100 (OEX) index, could you please give me directions as to how to achieve this.
REPLY: THE SYMBOL HIG IS FOR THE COMPANY ITT HARTFORD GROUP INC. THE SURROGATE INDEX COMPANIES FOR THE OEX IS MAINTAINED BY IAN WOODWARD OF THE WOODWARD INVESTMENT NEWSLETTER. YOU CAN FIND OUT MORE ABOUT IAN AND HIS METHODOLOGY BY CLICKING ON THE IRL COMMENTARY CORNER BUTTON ON THE MAIN TOOL BAR. HE ALSO HAS A USER FORUM ON AOL UNDER TELESCAN.
TO GENERATE THE OEX SURROGATE INDEX DO THE FOLLOWING.
1. CLICK ON METASTOCK SERVICES
2. CLICK ON EXPORT CUSTOM GROUP
3. CLICK ON FILTER
4. SELECT THE FILTER "SURROGATE FOR S&P 100 (OEX)
5. CLICK ON OK TO RETURN TO THE EXPORT CUSTOM GROUP DIALOG
6. SET THE START DATE FOR HISTORICAL PRICE AND VOLUME DATA E.G. JAN 1, 1995.
7. CHECK THE BOX THAT SAYS " FILL WITH HISTORICAL PRICE AND VOLUME DATA.
8. CLICK ON CHANGE FOLDER
9. CREATE A NEW FOLDER CALLED "OEX_SUR" OR SOME OTHER NAME.
10. CLICK ON EXPORT GROUP TO RETURN TO THE EXPORT CUSTOM GROUP DIALOG.
11. CLICK ON SELECT ALL IF ALL 25 COMPANIES ARE NOT SELECTED.
12. CLICK ON EXPORT GROUPS
ONCE THE GROUP HAS BEEN EXPORTED, YOU CAN USE THE INDEX GENERATOR TO GENERATE THE INDEX; YOU CAN LOOK AT THE INDIVIDUAL STOCK CHARTS USING THE GROUP WATCH CHART VIEWER, ETC.
