[EquisMetaStock Group] Symbols for indexes on different MetaStock compatible data providers

["Larry Carhartt" <lc@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Title: Message

As I am sure most of you know, different data providers use different symbols for the same indexes.  Why?  Who knows, but I am putting together a MetaStock plug-in that I am trying to make as universal as possible.  In other words,  no matter what data provider the user employs, if he wants to see data on the Dow Jones Industrial Average, the plug-in will recognize the symbol and bring up data on the Dow and all related data the the plug-in provides.

 

Below are the different symbols used for these major indexes.  The first column is Reuters (EOD) and the second eSignal (real time).

If anyone knows any different symbols used for other MetaStock compatible data providers your help is greatly appreciated:

New York Stock Exchange Composite    .NYA    $NYA
American Exchange Composite              .XAX    $XAX
NASDAQ Composite                              .IXIC    $COMPQ
Dow Jones Industrial Average                  .DJI     $INDU
S&P 500 Index                                      .SPX    $SPX
NASDAQ 100 Index                               .NDX    $NDX
Gold Bug's Index                                   .HUI     $HUI
30 Year Treasury Yield Index                  .TYX    $TYX

 

Thank you.

 

Best,

Larry Carhartt
