Loading a lot of symbols

[droskill]

This may well be a more general NT issue - but I thought I'd ask - let's say I want to add a lot of symbols - say, a watchlist of 300 ETFs. Is there an easy way to set this up for, say, Interactive Brokers and Yahoo?

Right now, it seems that anytime there isn't a symbol, I have to go through the Instrument Manager and set it up - which is fine for a small number of symbols but becomes painful when I have a large number of symbols.

Any easy solutions?

Thanks!

Hi droskill,

Thank you for your post.

You can import a list of stock symbols from a text file. For more information, please see the following link to our Help Guide: http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/h...stock_symb.htm

Thanks - I have txt files of my symbols - but they use hard returns - what would I type in for the seperator chars? Not in the documentation....

Thanks!

Hi droskill,

Returns are a valid separator:

"The text file must contain valid symbols separated by either -

•User defined character such as a semicolon or comma
•White space

•Carriage return"
