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);
}
}

Trading financial instruments, including foreign exchange on margin, carries a high level of risk and is not suitable for all investors. The high degree of leverage can work against you as well as for you. Before deciding to invest in financial instruments or foreign exchange you should carefully consider your investment objectives, level of experience, and risk appetite. The possibility exists that you could sustain a loss of some or all of your initial investment and therefore you should not invest money that you cannot afford to lose. You should be aware of all the risks associated with trading and seek advice from an independent financial advisor if you have any doubts.
