Please give an example of
GetSymbols (returns Symbol[]) (Filter Name String, Filter Category String)

For example I want to get symbols for a particular Index. How would I use the above to accomplish that.

Thanks,

Best Answer

The function "Symbols.GetSymbols" gets symbols from a Symbols Filter (Symbol -> Symbols View)

Here is an example on how to get symbols from a particular index:

List list = new List();
Symbol[] symbols = Symbols.GetSymbols();
for(int i=0;i < symbols.Length;i++)
{
Symbol symbol = symbols[i];
if(Array.IndexOf(symbol.GetIndexesFromList(), "Nyse") >= 0)
{
list.Add(symbol.Name);
}
}
