Jeff,

Here's my two cents...

1) First, get the SectorID and IndustryID for each security in the 
scan with a simple call to these functions and construct new 
composite symbols from their names. Do not use the integer codes. 
Ditch the loops... not needed.

2) Use AddToComposite to accumulate the OHLC's for each security and 
add them to the new composite names constructed from the Sector and 
Industry Group names. In your case, I guess you would replace the "C" 
field with the QRS values.

3) Count the number of securities by adding "1" to the "I" field of 
each composite. This running count should be the same for all bars.

4) Store the composites in Group 252 using CategoryAddSymbol.

5) Set your AA filter to Group 252 so that the next scan sees your 
new composites.

6) In a second scan, calculate the average using the EndBar open 
interest value as the total count for each Industry Group or Sector.

7) Add these averages to a new set of composites in Group 253 with 
AddToComposite.

I'm not really sure compositing QRS like this is really going to buy 
you anything but I'd be interested in hearing what comes of this.

All the best,

-- John
