Tomasz,
I fully recognise the excellence and complexity of your program,but your manual does not do the program justice and the lack of phone support does not make things easier..I apologise if you do not see it that way,but in my 23 years as a Managing Director at Salomon Bros,Smith Barney and Nomura I have had to work with many a users manual and crazy salespeople/customers.Its more of a compliment to your product....Take it for what its worth.
You were correct in that I was not scanning upon the whole database.The composites now created in group 253 all have have OHLC and V.I do have a fully populated "Undefined" group consisting of indicies and preferred stocks.I assume anything not in the QuotesPlus sectors gets placed in Undefined when you run the Scan..is that correct??If i delete the undefined list,will it delete all the stocks in it as well??
As for the composites created in Group 253,the price is as I expected,and a count divisor is necessary.I can only assume that i have to divide each feild by the count,with the exception of volume and run the scan.Is that correct?
Also,I still have no idea if the sectors and groups in Sector can be charted.I now have the correct setup,but still cant chart the sector and industry.Does that have to be done within groups?This is what i am talking about.A clear step by step example would go a long way.
