Help with lse stock charting

[gizmo14]

Hi,
i've only recently installed NT and want to use it initally for charting using yahoo EOD feed. NT recognises the feed for US stocks and charts them but not the UK. I have tried adding them as instruments, set the chart to daily/pound but i just get a blank chart. If I type the instrument from within the charting area it give an error retrieving data. I have read similar posts but it hasn't helped. As a beginner using NT any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Hello,

Thank you for your note.

Can you tell me what specific stock you are trying to get data for? (symbol and name)

Thank you!

Hi should have said SWG - Scott Wilson Group, FENR - Fenner, NBPO - New Brit Palm Oil, MER - Mears group.

Ok, here is what you need to do:

1.) Search for the instrument in Yahoo to find the correct mapping(see screenshot)
-So FENR Yahoo mapping is FENR.L

2.) Once you know this, go to Tools --> Instrument manager --> New (under the search field). Select Stock as type and choose 'Default' as the exchange. Under the Misc tab, use 'FENR.L' as the mapping (see screen shot)
-Do this for all instruments you wish to chart.

What do i need to put in the master instrument field?
Thanks

You will want to enter the instruments symbol, so FENR for example.
