JustData - All Symbols Have Same Sector

[jogibains]

hi
I am Using JustData for ASX.
I am using Metastock Plugin to get data into Amibroker.
I have more than 2400 symbols BUT all those Stock Symbols have same sector which is Advertising
I talk to Just data they told from there side every symbol have correct sector.

There Reply
""The GICS 30100000 is Food and Staples Retailing. This indicates that Bodhi has WOW categorized correctly.

I expect that your Amibroker is reading a non-Bodhi file for your Sectors/Services/Advertising. You will have to ask Amibroker what this file is and where it is how it is updated as our programme will not update this Sector pat"

How to categorize symbols coming from Metastock databases

I followed this process.
JUSTDATA assign All symbols to its Sector but some how Amibroker only assign Advertising sector to all symbols.

@jogibains

I followed this process.

No, you haven't.
You did not read carefully.

You have to go to Organize Assignments of AMIBROKER software:

After pressing Retrieve we can close the database configuration dialog (OK, then OK again), go to Symbol->Organize Assignments and reassign the newly imported symbols from Undefined market or Industry into our desired location.

You have to assign to categories from advertising to the ones you want the symbols to be in there.

@jogibains - JustData simply does NOT provide AmiBroker-compatible category information at all, so you have to put symbols in correct categories yourself. "Advertising" is just happens the first sector (sector 0) in your database and UNASSIGNED symbols landed there. A must-read:

Understanding AmiBroker categories

In this thread, @fxshrat has given you information about how to do that.

[jogibains]

SO YOU SAYING I HAVE TO MANNUALL ASSIGN SECTOR TO 2400+ SYMOBLES ONE BY ONE ??.
Is it..

[Tomasz]

No, you can just use supported data source, like NorgateData, that will do that for you, because it actually delivers categorization info in correct way

or

Use automatic categorization that is shipped with AmiBroker (for US markets only), via Tools->Get US symbols list and categories menu.

or

Follow instructions given by @fxshrat to import category information from text files (that is not "manual one by one")

or

Ask your vendor (JustData) to deliver integration scripts or at least importable file with categories as documented Understanding categories (scroll down to "making it automatic").

I have posted two links. Have you read them CAREFULLY?
That 3rd party vendor of your first post offers export of sectors to CSV file, AFAICS.

Do you agree?
If that's the case then you can import that CSV file in similar fashion as described in 2nd link of third post of this thread.

Now do yourself a favor and read everything again.

I have posted two links. Have you read them CAREFULLY? -> Yes I read.
That 3rd party vendor of your first post offers export of sectors to CSV file, AFAICS. ---> I am try to find that option but screenshort you post is there old software version they are using BODHI 6 Now.

If that's the case then you can import that CSV file in similar fashion as described in 2nd link of third post of this thread. ---> I have another data base I use that process to Import Sectors.
