mjcongleton,

I am happy to assist you.

You can make lists in the Instrument Manager.

http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/helpGuides/nt7/index.html?instrument_manager.htm

There are also options for importing lists of stocks at that link.

Please let me know if I may assist further.

Adam:

Could you provide a few sentences of instruction that walk us through this specific request? I also would like to have all NYSE stocks as an instrument list for some of my indicators. Do we have to specifically import a list of all NYSE stocks or is this already in an existing instrument list? I can't figure it out so any details would be greatly appreciated.

You would have to acquire the list from elsewhere and then import it.

For example, I only trade options on stocks that have penny spread options. I exported that list from TOS, then imported it into NT, so that I can use Market Analyzer to find the candidates with the indicator that I wrote for that purpose.

If you download Strategy Desk from TDA, they are located in

C:\Program Files\TD AMERITRADE\StrategyDesk\Symbols

Open the .SYM file in notepad or something.
