Author	Topic: ETF Symbols (7 messages, Page 1 of 1)
jonnyb -DTN Evangelist- Posts: 122 Joined: Aug 15, 2012	Posted: Aug 26, 2013 09:33 PM Msg. 1 of 7 Hello, I am trying to get a list of stocks and ETFs for each exchange. I attempted to use the SBF request but companies and ETFs are both returned under security type 1 - Equities. Is there a way I can accomplish this under the current protocol? If not, would it be possible for you to bifurcate the Equities security type into Funds and Corporates?

You can get a list of some ETFs by using symbol lookup to search the description field for ETF but that won't get you all of them since not all of them have ETF in the description. I don't think that moving these to a different security type is a possibility (I think it would negatively affect too many products) but I'll make sure your general request (being able to identify these symbols consistently) gets to the right people internally for consideration.

I found a large list of ETFs here: http://investexcel.net/all-yahoo-finance-stock-tickers/ But, many of these are not available on IQfeed and I'm sure I'm missing others. Just curious about your thoughts or if someone else knows of a good work around. Thanks.
