Joe,
 
Thanks for your help - I will be back to you.  Have been buried in work and not spending time on systems development for a few days.
 
I got code from Ed to build composites of the same file structure as QP3....Turn every group, sector, etc. into a composite.......If you are interested in that, it's in one of the responses to my request....... that was a great start and I was really grateful to get the code as my first wish was to build composites of a couple of those folders.  I still have trouble relating that code (which works) to the add to composite instructions on the site..........
 
Next step will be trying to build specific composites perhaps linked to custom indicator data and extracting the tickers that make up the composite. I may not get to that for a few days.
 
Thanks again for your help.  I really appreciate your response.
 
Mike

Hello Mike:
Good.  Now the next question, what would you like to 'composite'? 
 
 For example you can add the volume and do a composite of the volume of a group, or you can do new highs or Wilder's Index? 
Here's an example for building a composite and plotting the arrays you built.  Look in the Amibroker home page in the resources for a white paper written by Herman van den Bergen a while back on AddtoComposites for more information.  http://www.amibroker.org/3rdparty/IntroToAtc.pdf
 
Let me know if you find a script to build a group from a comma separate variable list. With QP you can clip and paste to create a watch list but have not worked with groups.
 
Best regards
JOE
 

// Calculate Wilder's Index for all component stocks in Energy Sector

// Use Filter = Select Filter Energy Sector

// Range - n last quotations = 1

// Current Symbol - A stock with a lot of data bars in it's history

// Run a Scan

//===================Wilder’s Directional Index (Composite for all Energy Sector)===========

AddToComposite(PDI(14), "~EGpdi", "X" );

AddToComposite(MDI(14), "~EGmdi", "X" );

AddToComposite(ADX(14), "~EGadx", "X" );

Buy = Sell = 0; // Lets AB run a SCAN without balking

 
 
 
 
This goes in the Indicator Builder for plotting, you'll have to change all the references to the ~NYSE*** to ~EG
 
 
_SECTION_BEGIN("NYSE Wilder Dir Index");

//AddToComposite(ADX(14), "~NYSEadx", "X" );
 
Count = Foreign("~NYSEcount", "c");
nysePDI = Foreign("~NYSEpdi", "c") / Count;
nyseMDI = Foreign("~NYSEmdi", "C") / Count;
nyseADX = Foreign("~NYSEadx", "c") / Count;
Plot(nysePDI, "Composite +DI", colorGreen, styleLine);
Plot(nyseMDI, "Composite -DI", colorRed, styleLine);

Joe,
 
My configuration appears to be identical to yours - standard QP3 Layout.  I'd be happy for now with converting some of those groups to composites as a starting place......... though it appeared to me that in order to do that, one needed to create a new numbered group to park the composite indicator.  I wasn't sure how QP3 updates would respond to a restructured data base even if it was only additional folders - and I didn't know if creating a new group to store the new composite was necessary from reading all the instructions, though it appeared to be.
 
I'd appreciate any help you can offer to expedite this - it appears I'm on a similar path to yours - at least in this regard.
 
Thank you,
 
Mike

Mike - I have QP3 and just finished running a bunch of AddtoComposites to develop breadth data on the the various markets inclduing the index the Russell 2000.
 
I need to learn more about your config before I can help. 
 
 When you go to Symbols, under the category ALL, do you see about 7-8000 stocks? 
 
As far as groups go, when you configure the database initially, you'll get the groups that QP provides you
as the BMP graphic attached shows from my installation.   I don't know how to get additional groups automatically from QP unless you make them your self in all the additional slots in the Groups area.
 
Hope this helps.

JOE

Subject: [amibroker] Add to Composite With Quotes Plus Data Base


I'm using a the Quote's Plus Data base and would like to use the add
to composite function.  Since the QP data base is not "local" I am
having difficulty creating the groups required to store the new
composites, and also reading the QP groups that I'd like to evaluate.

Any suggestions?  I'm new at this, I've read the help files for Add to
Composite, but stopped on this one.  I'm probably missing something
quite simple.

It appears to me that I'll have to create a local data base with all
the QP data, but I'd like to avoid having to do an update like that,
unless I can use the add to composite function to recreate the entire
QP data base - and then add my own composites to that local data base.

I'd appreciate any help and suggestions.

Thank you,

Mike
