Hi there,

I'm a little confused by how I should use the Instrument Manager. I've looked at the help docs... and thought it would be straight-forward. But I'm surprised by the large number of NYSE/Nasdaq-traded stocks that aren't listed in the Instrument Manager. Am I looking in the wrong place?

I want to run a backtest on (for example) ABH and CCRT. I know I can click "add" to define these two symbols... but is that the right way of going about this?

Is there some kind of master instrument list with all US exchange-traded stocks that I can import?

Hi Heech,


If you are adding stocks the easiest way to do so is by using the directions provided.


While in your chart simply type in CCRT and click enter, after doing this it will chart and be available in your master instrument list. From here you can add it to your default instrument list.


It is also possible to import stock lists, visit the link provided for more information.
