Be sure you have the latest Symbols file downloaded from the Equis' website
http://www.equis.com/customer/support/files/download/Symbol652.exe
The Advance or Decline are single securities by themselves and as such each
is also a single tickersymbol. In Downloader use the Symbol LookUp feature, eg
click "New|Security|LookUp", next click :
"Type: Market Indicators (DataLink Symbols)" or
"Type: Indices (Signal Symbols)" and click
"Group: All".
(note that the sources induvidualy also use their own unique tickersymbols identifying
character, eg either the cap ^ or dollar $).
A few Tickers:
ADVA AMEX ADVANCING ISSUES
ADVQ NASDAQ ADVANCING ISSUES
ADV NYSE ADVANCING ISSUES
ADVN NYSE Advancing Issues
DECLA AMEX DECLINING ISSUES
DECLQ NASDAQ DECLINING ISSUES
DECL NYSE DECLINING ISSUES
DECLN NYSE Declining Issues
UVOLA AMEX Up Volume
