I wrote a simple routine to change existing symbols so I dont loose old data
go=ParamTrigger("GO","OK"); if (go) { AB = CreateObject("Broker.Application"); sts = AB.Stocks(); Qty = sts.Count; for( i = 0; i < Qty-1; i ++ ) { st = sts.Item( i ); Ticker = st.Ticker; Fil=StrFind(ticker, "-TSE") ; if (fil) { st.Ticker+="-CAD"; } } } Is this what u mean?
