Hello,
Go to File->Database Settings
press "Configure".
And then press "Retrieve". Make sure that "sector/industry
assignments" checbox is checked.
If symbol description do not match it means that
QP2 re-assigned names of !ID-xxxx after you have created database.
In that case you should create new database
File->New->Database following the manual
broker.industries/broker.sectors files DO NOT MATTER at all.
They are not used by QP2 databases and not used by any
already created database. These are just defaults for EMPTY,
new databases used at creation time for DBs that do not
use plugins or do not deliver categorisation. QP2 does NOT use
them, as it has its own sector info.
Best regards,
Tomasz

Subject: [amibroker] Mixed up Quotes
Plus, Sectors and Industries
Using AB 5.20 with
QP EOD data, the Sectors, Industries, and !IDxxx charts are all mixed
up. For example:
1. For AB shows 13 Sectors, including two
Utilities and one Transportation. The brokers.sectors file contains only
11 items, only one Utilities and no Transportation. The first Utilities
contains 17 industries, only 4 of which are utility related -- the other 13
are retail. The second Utilities contains the same 4 utility related
industries as the first, but with different companies, all of which have NO
data. The Transportation Sector contains 9 industries with a total of 23
companies, only 4 of which have any data.
2. AB shows 182
industries, many of which show up in more than one sector.
Broker.industries has a total of 151, including Undefined.
3. AB
shows !ID001 through !ID198, however !ID154 through !ID198 have no data.
QP3.1 shows only !ID001 through !ID153. (I would expect there to be a
one-to-one match of !IDxxx symbols to industries (just a
guess).
4. AB and QP3.1 appear to display the same values for any
given !IDxxx. However, they assign different names to many of
them. For example: for !ID050, AB's name is (Leisure-Gaming-LEISURE),
while QP's is (Media-Radio/TV MERADIO). In fact, the names for more than
half these symbols disagree.
Note, I have only recently even looked at
sectors and industries in AB. This May have been happening for years
without my knowledge. I have been using AB since at least version 4.2
and QP is at least the fourth data base I have installed (it is the only one I
am presently using).
I tried to fix the problem with: File>Data Base
Settings>Flush cache -- Configure>Retrieve, without success. (I am
suspicious that there may be something wrong with broker.sectors and/or
broker.industries.)
Is there a safe, relatively easy way to fix
this? By safe I mean that I do not want to loose any of my existing
Layouts.
Thanks for any help you can provide.
