Dear Mr Karthikmarar,
Only recently I had an opportunity to look into your thread of Clean data base and organising them into various sectors . Simply a superb job and selfless service to trading community . Hats off to you and Mr Murthy.
Sir, One problem I faced in sectoral classification.
I could not understand the following lines .
` Modify LoadData.afl file to point to where the StockIndustry.txt file is located. The Default location is the root directory of D:\. If you are apprehensive in changing the Loaddata.afl , just save the txt file in the root directory in partition D.`
My doubt is how can we modify the afl. Please explain in layman`s language ,if you can.
Still this is what I did.
I deleted the old files as advised by you.
I copied the files ` new broker.sectors and broker.industries ` given by you , to Amibroker directory. ( ie., c:\program files\Amibroker.).
Then I copied ` LoadData.afl ` into c:\programfiles\Amibroker\formulas\custom.
I copied ` StockIndustry.txt` file into c:\programfiles\Amibroker.
I tried to move the symbols to Industry 255 using menu item Symbol -> Organize assignments. It appeared a little complicated and I am not sure whether I succeeded or not . Is there any method to verify whether the symbols have moved to Industry 255. Could you elaborate this. Perhaps it may be a simple thing , but I could not understand , I am sorry for that.
When I tried to use the LoadData.afl and scanned, nothing happened. I am stuck here. I would be thankful, if you could tell me where I would have gone wrong.
Thanking you , in advance and sorry for bothering you with such silly doubts.
Regards.
