You can now specify Industry or Sector restrictions when building a portfolio or when simulating. For example to eliminate tobacco and forestry stocks from consideration, enter the following Buy Rule (step 2 of the wizard):
Industry != TOBACO And Industry != LUMBER
Or to buy only from technology stocks enter this Buy Rule:
Sector = TECHNO
You can see all Industry and Sector codes from the Buy and Sell Rule input screens. These screens are the Steps 3, and 4 when specifying the parameters of a simulation, or when creating a portfolio using the wizard. In the bottom half of these screens:
Select ‘FUNCTIONS’ in ‘Type’
Select ‘INDUSTRY & SECTOR’ in ‘Category’
Select ‘INDUSTRY’ or ‘SECTOR’ in ‘Factor/Function’
You can find the full industry code list at this link. That is the full set of codes for the Industry, SubIndustry, Sector, SubSector and GICS functions.
