Dave,

I've just run the following code against my QP data, specifically the !DJI ticker and it returned true.

Filter = 1;
AddColumn( IsIndex(), "IsIndex");

If you right click the ticker in the symbol tree and open the Information dialogue box for the  ticker the Index check box should be checked.

A number of things that obviously are indexes return 0 for IsIndex(), at
least with QuotesPlus data. For instance:
  !DJI, !SPX, !RUA, !RUT, !VIX

Is this a problem with QuotesPlus data? With the plugin that reads the data?
Something else?

For now, I'll use the leading "!" to tell if something is an index, but it
seems like IsIndex() is for that exact purpose, and if I switch to different
data that prefix may change, so I'd rather Do The Right Thing if possible.

Thanks,

Dave
