I am looking to use the Hemscott structure because it provides
volume for each of the sector and industry index symbols as well as
the sub-industry index symbols. Volume is critical to my analysis in AB.
I can export the structure from the QuotesPlus charting programming
and save it in Metastock format. I think I can then import the
Metastock format into AB.
A significant difference is the Hemscott structure is three layers
deep Sector --> Industry --> Sub-Industry --> stock
AB databse does not support three levels of definition.
I will have to think of a way around this, but I'm sure I can come up
with something that will work for me.
Your information in the KB is very useful. Thank you for providing it.
best regards,
Tom
