Hello, Everything about categories you will find in this tutorial (part of User's Guide):
http://www.amibroker.com/guide/h_categories.html If you are using Quotes Plus sectors/industries are set up automatically if you do "Retrieve" in File->Database Settings->Configure Groups are INDEPENDENT in AMiBRoker from sectors/industries. Groups are for markign whenever given symbol is a STOCK, MUTUAL FUND, FUTURE or COMPOSITE (group 253). If you want your composite to appear in specific industry use CategoryAddSymbol( symbol, categoryIndustry, IndustryID() ); As for what composites do, please read: http://www.amibroker.com/guide/a_addtocomposite.html and http://www.amibroker.net/3rdparty/IntroToAtc.pdf which answers all questions asked in your e-mail.
