Indices and equities data not showing up

[caffoo]

I'm having a problem where I can bring up charts of some stocks but when I load up the S&P 500 instrument list on the Market Analyzer, the symbol has no information for it. The same is true for any index I put on, as well.

It seems that when I load up the S&P 500 on the Market Analyzer, the symbols fill up alphabetically but only to around E or F.

I'm using the Yahoo datafeed, for reference.

In your Instrumment Manager, please ensure you have a mapping for that symbol on the Yahoo feed.

I'm assuming you mean hit edit, and then go to the Symbol Map? I've looked at the symbols not showing up and they have the correct symbol for the Yahoo feed. If it helps, I'm using the S&P 500 instrument list downloaded from the Help files

I believe the issue is just related to the limitations of using Yahoo as a data feed. Yahoo feed does not provide you with real-time data so I suspect that is why nothing is showing up on your symbols.

You may want to try one of our other supported data providers.
