Symbol Mapping

[jokepie]

Hi All,

Is there a way to import symbol mappings for multiple brokers & multiple instruments. I am not finding some common ETFs like "SSO" by default. May be a bulk import or something. i just dont want to make mistake and feeling lazy


Thank you in advance,

Hello jokepie,

Thanks for posting to the forums.
Importing a list of stock symbols is an efficient way to add instruments to the instruments database in bulk.



Within the Control Center window select the Tools menu. Then select the menu item Import and left mouse click on the menu item Stock Symbol List...



Press the Load button to open a text file that contains your symbol list or type each symbol into the editor manually



The text file must contain valid symbols separated by either -

•	User defined character such as a semicolon or comma

•	White space

•	Carriage return

The symbols for import are listed in the editor

Select the exchange the instruments are traded on

Select the currency the instruments are traded in

Optionally add the instruments to an Instrument List (optionally create a new one by selecting "New" in the combo box.)

Select a Session template for the instruments

Enter any user defined separator characters

Press the OK button to import

Note: Instruments with illegal characters such as a period will be converted to use an underscore instead automatically when running through the import or migration process.
