Hi Brian, Here is what I am trying to do:
1) I opened Jim's .XLS file and I selected each tickers in a specific industry; 2) Then I copy-paste this to a .txt file; 3) I import the file in watchlist 0; 4) I use CategoryAddSymbol( "", categoryIndustry, 2 ); to put it to the correct industry (BTW, is it normal if categorysector is NOT supported by my Amibroker??); 5) Then I move what is in watchlist 0 to watchlist 1; Then I do this again and again... But for more than 200 industries, that's a long way to go, not talking about been unable to put the correct sectors or markets! What do you think about this? Thanks!
