Hello, Recently I too was interested in the same question....and presented it to support...I am including the entire conversation...
Anthony Here is a response from Support: /////Support Response Hello, No - that's not correct. Please re-read my response. The assignment of the composite ticker is independent from the data it's calculated from. When a composite ticker is created it's added to: - industry 0 - Market 253 - Group 253* (* provided that you use atcFlagCompositeGroup http://www.amibroker.com/f?addtocomposite) The name of the composite depends on the scan. I. e. as you scan your tickers - it looks the following: - scan ticker1 - calculate the formula - read the industry name (e.g. XXXX) - write your caclulations to composite ticker named ~INDXXX (new composite gets created) - go to the next ticker - scan ticker2 - calculate the formula - read the industry name (e.g. YYYY) - write your caclulations to composite ticker named ~INDYYY - go to the next ticker - scan ticker3 - calculate the formula - read the industry name (e.g. XXXX again) - write (add) your caclulations to composite ticker named ~INDXXX - go to the next ticker and so on However - that does not reassign ~INDXXX ticker - the composite will stay in default category, where each new industry ticker goes (market253, group253, Industry0) unless you reassign it yourself (either manually or with CategoryAddSymbol function).
