Historical Indices in Metastock

[xdavis]

Is there a file somwhere with eSignal'
s complete Index symbol list? Metastock doesn't provide the correct symbols for eSignal (ie. $XXXX). They only give the Reuters format. The stock symbols are fine, but not the indices.

I am trying to avoid having to input all 600+ symbols by hand.

Indice list

While we don't currently maintain a downloadable list of our Indices, I can make one suggestion that would be faster than typing one by one. The Indices on Symbol Look-up are in a table. If you copy/paste each section of Indices into Excel, you'll get 4 colmuns of information, lead by the Indices symbols. With a little tweaking, you should be able to copy/paste just the symbols.

Since most of our customers have a 500 concurrent symbol limit, we don't get many requests to load large lists of symbols.

Hope that helps.

Thanks,

An even better suggestion was made by our Product Manager on another thread:
