Aussie Stocks lists from Yahoo - Automation
I would also like to know how to set up ASX stock EOD data for Yahoo without setting up each one by hand.
FYI this is what I did to set up by hand - Using OSH as an example stock
I REALLY don't want to have to repeat Step 3 200 times ;-) How can I automate it
1) Set up new Instrument list called ASX Stocks as follows:
Tools, Instrument Manager, Add, New. Typed "ASX Stocks' in Instrument List Name
2) File, Utilities, Import Stock Symbol list
Set Traded on to 'ASX"
Currency : Australian Dollars
Instrument List: ASX Stocks
Hit OK and got 1 stock symbol successfully imported
(I know you can add multiple symbols at this point, but am just adding 1 as an example.)
3) Returned to Instrument List
Found OSH in Master Instruments list and hit EDIT.
Changed Desription to Oil Search:
Updated URL to :
Under Misc Tab: Updated Symbol map from OSH to OSH.AX for Yahoo
Exited from Instrument list.
4) File, New, Chart
Name: OSH
Excahnge: ASX
Interval : 1 day
Can see OSH chart .

Thanks Jason.
However, you say "Unfortunately, it is not supported to have it add a Description or URL using this method. Note that this information is not required to receive data."
Unfortunately this inforamtion is required and you do have to go and update the URL and the MISC tab as the URL defaults to the Amercain yahoo site,
As such if there is a US stock with the same letter it shows that. Else it shows nothing.
So looks like each one will have to be manually updated.

ASX Stock list (ASX 200)
Just a brief response, I figured this out off a collection of information, but to save any future person having an issue:
Caveats:
1) this list is provided AS IS. I pulled the data from http://www.standardandpoors.com/indi...udff--p-au----
2) this data is only as good as the source
3) it is current for 15\2\2010 per S&P
4) it represents what S&P calls the ASX 200.
there is a complete list available in CSV from the ASX somewhere ( i will attach the one I pulled down 15/2/2010)
All i have done to the S&P "Asx200" is add the .ax extension to each of them, for easy use with yahoo. Its a manual process so i have saved you time by doing it!
ASX 200 with YAHOO (.ax) settings in CSV
Access Google Drive with a Google account (for personal use) or Google Workspace account (for business use).
(edit1: the link is on google docs, if someone has a better solution for a like 1kb file, let me know!)
Instructions for use:
1)Download to somewhere (your know your computer better than I, can i suggest C:\ or something
2) Open Ninja Trader,
3) File -> Utilities -> Import Stock Symbol List
4)Hit the LOAD Button, select the file
5)Change the traded on to the appropriate thing (ie ASX, $AUD) and select an appropriate instrument list (mine is called ASX, however if you, like me, had no idea, its just a sorting list, so you can create a new one if you wish).
6) Hit Ok. It should add them all, if you open the instrument list, it will show them all in the symbol map with .ax on teh end. As i said above, this is for yahoo only with their current requirment (.ax), I have not set it up for any other thing.
7) make billions, remember to give some to meLast edited by mestoth; 02-14-2010, 06:45 PM.

FYI,
the current version of NT 6.5 can't deal with stocks under $2 as they are in 3 decimal places. NT 7 will have this addressed.

Some stock charts don't load
Hi, I imported the attached file using NT's Import Stock Symbols feature. Some stocks display great, others have no data. For example: TLS.AX is ok but NAB.AX has no data. Really strange. Any thoughts?Attached Files

I'm using Paritech Pulse because of these issues. NT 6.5 has no issues with stocks over $2.

Some stock charts don't load
Hi paulchow2k, thanks for your response. I managed to get most of the stocks to work. The import process screwed up some of the URLs. Still having issues displaying charts for SFY.AX, SLF.AX and STW.AX. Would you mind checking to see if your Yahoo connection displays these charts? If not, I'll know it's not just affecting me. Thanks muchly.

ASX 200 Index data symbol for Yahoo ?
Hi Team,
Where can I find the appropriate Yahoo symbol list for use within Ninja Trader. I can't seem to get the Australian ASX 200 Index working in Ninja using Yahoo feed. In Australia the symbol is XJO, I have also tried ^AXJO, etc.
Is there a place in yahoo I can find the symbols as they should be applied in Ninja?
Cheers
