Re: [amibroker] ATC,Sectors and Industries

Tue, 12 Sep 2006 09:50:54 -0700

Hello,
 
My impression is that whatever we do, we do it wrong in your opinion -
- when we provide descriptions - then you say that examples are missing, if we provide LOTS of practical usage examples
(like in ATC documentation) then you say there is no logic. Sorry to say but when there are lots of examples
(as in ATC case) it is "by design" fragmented because there are LOTS of different examples (fragments).
 
Check list:
1. Did you run scan for ALL symbols (not just a watch list or subset of symbols) ?
2. Do you have data holes (use Tools->Database cleanup to verify data holes)

Best regards,

Tomasz,
I have read all this material and the problem is,everything is fragmented.There is no flow,no logic,no clear building blocks and it is exceddingly difficult to piece together the various scattered defintions and snippets of info.
 
At this point I am clueless as to what to do..I understand what ATC does regarding indicies.The code below,did exactly as i hoped,and created a candlestick chart of the sector,but there is no way the sum of the stocks in the sector equaled the value on the chart..The proce was way too low...
sym="~"+SectorID(1);

AddToComposite(L,sym,"L");

AddToComposite(O,sym,"O");

AddToComposite(H,sym,"H");

AddToComposite(C,sym,"C");

AddToComposite(V,sym,"V");

Buy=Sell=Short=Cover=0;

Filter=1;

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I also tried the code with the counter,and that worked as well,but i only got a close only chart.maybe I wasnt clear as to my intentions.I did want to set up my database in the sector/industry/stock format,which you helped me do.But just as important,i want to be able to chart the sector and the industry,as well as get values for them..Do I do that in groups????
 
This is verrrrry confusing,and needlessly so..
 

/* AddToComposite statements are for Automatic Analysis -> Scan */
/* add Close price to our index OHLC fields */
AddToComposite(Close, "~MyIndex", "X" );

/* add one to open intest field (we use this field as a counter) */
AddToComposite( 1, "~MyIndex", "I" );

buy = 0; // required by scan mode

/* this part is for Indicator */
graph0 = Foreign( "~MyIndex", "C" )/Foreign( "~MyIndex", "I" );
