Industry Index Name

by QuantShare, 4324 days ago

The "IndustryIndex" function should be used with the following downloader (Industry Market Data), to return the industry index given the stock's industry.

Industry names that are used by QuantShare and by the above downloader are different and this function helps us correspond or associate the different industry names.


How it works:

The function stores a dictionary class where each entry contains both industry names. Example:
Auto + Truck Manufacturers => AUTOMOTIVE MFG
Biotechnology + Drugs => DRUGS/PHARMACEUTICALS

The function reads the current stock industry name, checks the internal dictionary and returns the corresponding industry name.


How to plot industry data of the current stock on a chart:

Add the following formula to a new chart's pane:
b = IndustryIndex(); // Get the new industry name of the stock. Example: AUTOMOTIVE MFG
a = "^INDUSTRY_".b; // Create ticker symbol
a = GetSeries(a, close, LastData); // Get industry price series
Plot(a, b, colorGreen, ChartLine, StyleSymbolNone); // Plot industry data


Example of usage:

A complete example of how this trading indicator is used can be found in the following blog post:

Trading financial instruments, including foreign exchange on margin, carries a high level of risk and is not suitable for all investors. The high degree of leverage can work against you as well as for you. Before deciding to invest in financial instruments or foreign exchange you should carefully consider your investment objectives, level of experience, and risk appetite. The possibility exists that you could sustain a loss of some or all of your initial investment and therefore you should not invest money that you cannot afford to lose. You should be aware of all the risks associated with trading and seek advice from an independent financial advisor if you have any doubts.
