While StormTracker is running, the "Load Sectors/Symbols" window can be edited to change the sectors/symbols that you read in. All changes take effect on the next run of StormTracker.

In order to add a sector, just type the sector index in an available spot in the left column. Entries in the left column can be stock symbols as well as sector indices. If an entry is made in the left column then it must also contain a corresponding entry in the right column, corresponding to a file in the sectors folder that contains symbols for that sector. The exception to this is if you type keyword "ALL" in the right column, which means that no file is requred for the sector, but the sector will be read in and tracked by StormTracker.

Stormtracker comes with 17 predefined sector lists(For the RealTick version only) You can choose between the sectorlists by toggling the sectorlist combo box at the bottom of the window. These are meant as starting points for you to design your customized sectors/symbollists.
