Can't find TSX stocks in Ninja?

[trader1235]

Hi, Just started with Ninja recently and have purchased the data feed from Kinetick, including the TSX exchange. I can't find any of these stocks in Ninja.

I've been searching the forum and either I can't understand what needs to be done to enable this, or I have to manually add each individual stock. I choose to believe that there must be a better way to achieve this than uploading each stock in the instrument manager. I also, feel there must be a "free" way to do this without paying for a program to have this uploaded. I'm already paying for this data from Kinetick so why wouldn't it be automatically uploaded through them?

I hope someone can help me with this.

Thanks!

Ok, figured this out myself. So here is what I did for anyone who might want to know later.
I did a stock scan from STOCKCHARTS.COM (I have a membership) for the TSX. I saved the file as comma delimited. Then in EXCEL, I did "DATA" - "TEXT TO COLUMNS" to separate off the .TO from the symbol. Next you have to create a column in front of the symbol column that doesn't have the .TO and put in a "C.". The C. is required to be in front of the TSX symbol for my data feed from Kinetick. Next you have to combine the two columns into one. So create a new empty column to the right of the symbol and use the formula =A1&""&B1 . copy the formula to the rest of the rows and then you have the proper format for uploading in to NINJA using the Tools>Utilities>Import Stock Symbol List.

It took awhile to figure this all out, but it saved me from buying the list. Hope this might help someone in the future.

One more thing, if there are any symbols that have /UN, you must remove the "/" and replace it with a period to have the correct format for Kinetic symbols for the TSX.
