Gary, I too now have significant work to re-do across all of my AmiBroker indicators and scripts due to this change. I completely agree with Joe and many others that QP's data integrity should not be controlled by the thoughts of one individual , in this case Ron Brown, but rather should be aligned to an industry standard for purposes of consistency and reliability. As a data vendor surely you must agree that these are paramount considerations. May I strongly suggest the Dow Jones Industry structure. This is widely accepted across the financial world as one of the best systems of catagorizing individual stocks into industries/sectors. It is standardized, stable and consistent and not subject to the whims of any single individual who can bring significant pain and suffering to your customer base without so much as an advance notice.
Before I begin the task of re-writing much of my software, you mentioned in a previous post that you have access to industry groups from a couple of other sources (industry standard groups) and that you would include them if there is enough interest. Can you please do so....as I am not willing to commit more time and energy into the current data structure if it remains changeable without even the courtesy of advance notification. Looking forward to your positive response.

Here is Ron's message describing the changes: > > When you download today, you will find that the group and sector structure of HGSI has changed. We consolidated some very small groups into larger groups to give us a total of 150 Industry Monitor groups rather than 193. Also, the sectors have been reduced from 12 to 10. The new sector structure is on top, and the old is on the bottom. > > I will be out of town until later this after noon, but when I return, I will record my weekly report and show you how to download and update my User Groups.
