Click the Symbol Lookup link in the Quick Quote panel or in the Trade and Option Chains tabs to search for a company/index name based on the symbol or vice versa. |
The Symbol Lookup window can help you locate specific stocks, exchange traded funds, indices, or options contracts by querying the security data using Description or Symbol. The Symbol Lookup function will give you the symbol or a list of cross-referenced possibilities to choose from.
NOTE: Not all indices listed may be available for quotes or charts. For locating Options, you will have to know the underlying symbol. When looking for index options you will need to precede the index symbol with a “$”.
TIP: Although you may know the full name spelled out, the database does use abbreviations and symbols, so sometimes typing less is more. |
