I responded to Jack and sent him an export file of all my stock symbols in
my GS. I'll be happy to work with people to keep a universal list current. I
don't use the individual lists, why bother? I use master lists of all the
Naz and all the NYSE stocks. Jack wasn't interested and I apparently
couldn't offer him what he wanted. Why look at individual lists when you can
look at the whole market? What I would like to see is a month by month
listing of new symbols for the exchanges. I would simply hand enter them.
The different web pages for the exchanges just revise their master list. you
then have to get in to the list, create a workspace from it by importing the
symbols in to a radarscreen and then add the ones that are not in the
portfolio. That is a lot of work in itself and I do it once a year. I don't
know of anyone on the list who is doing even this much work.
Speak if you are.

Subject: RE: How do I get a good symbol list on globalserver or Radarscreen?
: Yes, two people responded, but they didn't help with
: the underlying problems. There are really three
: problems and only two solutions I have found thus far.
: Here I will review them and cc the list for the
: benefit of the them as well.
:
: First, the Radar screen lists are trivial to manage.
: All you need to do is go to the custom symbols
: directory and edit the cls files. They are just Ascii
: so it is easy to create them using Microsoft Excel.
:
: Second, to import more than 500 symbols at a time into
: the Radarscreen from the global server, you can just
: do it one letter at a time. There are 26 letters.
:
: Third problem is to manage lists of symbols on the
: global server. The only way I know of to do this is
: by importing an xpo file from someone who has entered
: each symbol by hand. Nobody responded offering help
: with this so I am just having a huge list of symbols
: in the global server (which slows it down and is not
: ideal), but works. If someone were to upload, say,
: xpo files of all optionable stocks, sp500 stocks, etc.
: containing only 1 days worth of daily data (no
: intraday data, etc.) to traders2traders.com that would
: solve this last problem for us.
:
: Hope this helps.
:
: P.S. Lists of stocks can be found on the cboe web
: page, although not in an easy format.
