Symbol Formats

Retrieving data for certain types of financial instruments requires entering them in a format that is recognizable by StreetSmart Central®™. Below are instructions for entering valid symbols for the types of data that may be available in StreetSmart Central®:

• Stock: Enter the 1 to 5 character stock ticker symbol in uppercase letters. For example, ABCD.
• Option: Enter the Option symbol in uppercase letters using the following format; the underlying security or index symbol, followed by the expiration date, then strike price, then a 'C' or 'P' for Call or Put. For example, XYZ MM/DD/YYYY 00.00 C.
• Indices: Enter the index symbol preceded by a '$'. For example, $ABC.
• Mutual Fund: Enter the Mutual Fund symbol using five uppercase letters or digits, ending in 'X'. For example, ABCDX.
• Preferred Stock: Enter the Preferred Stock symbol by following the regular stock symbol with lower case 'p' and, optionally, a single uppercase letter as a class indicator. For example, ABp or YZpP. To produce a lower case letter, hold the shift key down while typing the character. Alternately, you may follow the symbol with a '/PR' and then the class designator. For examples, ABC/PR or XYZ/PRP.
• Class Shares: Enter the 1 to 7 character symbol in uppercase letters or digits followed by a '/' and then a single uppercase letter. For example, ABC/B.

• Futures: Enter the Futures symbol in uppercase letters using the following format; begin with the root symbol, then month code, and then year code. The year code is displayed as two digits. For example, a March (month code = H) 2018 (year code = 18) contract of AB would be entered as ABH18.
