how to get all symbols?

[idob]

Hi,
i am trying to get all the list of all the symbols available ( stocks, forex etc ).
i saw a demo that uses the stockes.txt file but it looks little old (and has only stocks)
can i get the list in real time from the Esignal app using the activeX.?

Thanks
ido

The ActiveX Desktop API does not contain any methods to enumerate symbols. It does have a new function to determine whether or not a given symbol is valid.

Can you generate the list using some other means (i.e. not using the Desktop API) and store it in a file and have your app just load the file?

You can use the Symbol Search feature in eSignal or this page as a reference. We do not have a function call to return all available symbols, as that list would be enormous.

Did that

Hi,
That's what i've done. I took all the symbols from the search screen ( not manually ).

Thanks,
Ido
