Hello Jayson,
don´t ya worry!
You´ve already helped me a great
deal in understanding the "basix" of Addtocomposite.
1./ somehow my indices have been stored in
-->markets-->market253 AND group 253. While I
understand the latter, I don´t understand the former. Is this a
MUST?
2./ I used the "x" option for the field code,
figuring that would enable me to make a bar chart from it (since OHLC are
updated). But this is NOT the case. I get only. No way to produce a bar chart as
in HGS/QP2 from it?? I thought of generating 4 ATC´s (one for Open, one for High
etc.) but how to bring those together in one index bar for each trading day
:-((((
3./ It makes me wonder that the newly created
indices (in our case the IM200´s) have to be updated EVERY day MANULY(running
the scan). Is there no workaround for this (i.e. store the calculated day
somewhere and onl update the LAST session as with regular stock
data??).
Highly appreciate your help!!!!
Thanx
Markus

Re: [amibroker] Creating IM200 indices - JAYSON
Anthony,thanks for stepping in here.If I
may:1./ does Jayson´s SYM variable refer to the array part of the
addtocompositefunction. If so, why is it not put in parenthesis (though
this results in anerror).<FONT face=Arial
color=#0000ff size=2>
<FONT
face=Arial>The line
<FONT
face=Arial>
<FONT
face=Arial>sym="~"+sectorid(1)
<FONT
face=Arial>
<FONT
face=Arial>looks at each stock you scan and places "~" + the sector ID for
that stock in its place. If, for instance the stock
resides in the Utilities Sector then AB notes this and returns sym=
"~Utilities". Addtocomposite grabs this shorthand and Therefore the next line
AddToComposite(<FONT
color=#000000>C<FONT
color=#282828>,sym ,"C"<FONT
color=#282828>); <SPAN
class=855470704-24042003> becomes
addtocomposite(c,"~utilities","C");
<SPAN
class=855470704-24042003>This is repeated for each stock scanned.
addtocomposite then simply looks to the stocks sectorid and places the data in
the appropriate
ticker
2./ sym="~"+SectorID(1);// this does sectors for industry groups
useindustryid(0)I don´t understand Jayson´s remark here: WHICH stocks
does that include? Iwant to include all stocks belonging to the same of
the 200 industry groups.<FONT face=Arial
color=#0000ff size=2>
<FONT face=Arial
color=#0000ff>Sectorid(1) returns the 12 sectors (Capital goods, utilities,
financials etc) If you want industry groups then replace that line
with
<FONT face=Arial
color=#0000ff>sym="~"+industryID(1);
<SPAN
class=855470704-24042003><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff
size=2>
<FONT face=Arial
color=#0000ff>Ab will look at all the stocks in your scan. All the stocks with
with the same industryID will be counted in the appropriate composite
Ticker. 3./ if I wanted to create an
index for all the 200 used industry groups(Quotes Plus Two), would I have
to write this code 200 times??<FONT face=Arial
color=#0000ff size=2>
<FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff
size=2>No... See above... AB does all the grunt work for
you... 4./ would I have to run the scan EVEREY day
to bring my Addtocomposites upto date?<FONT
face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>
<FONT
face=Arial>Yes. the scan will create/update all 200 industry groups and store
them in group 253 (the default location for your Composites. You may also
create watch lists of these tickers to separate them.
For instance I have a watchlist with just the 12 sectors, a second for the
industry group tickers etc.... 5./ I
added "flag=16" which gave me an error. How do I have to specify if Iwant
to use addtocomposite in exploration mode?<FONT
face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>
<FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff
size=2>flag=16 is a description.... just add comma 16
AddToComposite(<FONT
color=#000000>C,sym ,<FONT
color=#ff00ff>"C"<SPAN
class=855470704-24042003> <FONT
face="Courier New" color=#ff00ff>,16 );
Many thanks for your
help!Markus----- Original Message -----From: "Anthony
