Bulk Add Symbols

Postby tradebuster » 05 Feb 2015

I have two questions:

1.) Is there any way to import a list of symbols into Quote Manager.
2.) Is there a way to bulk import symbols into a single chart and hide those symbols?

1. QM -> File -> Import Symbol List.
2. On way to bulk import symbols into a chart and hide them is to write a script. Look up the commandLine keyword.

Thanks orion. That was very helpful. I do have one more question, I don't see where the command is to hide the symbol after I insert it.

I enter:
.isy name=@ES#, df=IQFeed, res=3 min

What is the parameter to hide the chart?

Thanks!

All Command Line commands are listed here: Understanding Command Line.

To summarise, there's no command/parameter for hiding a symbol after it has been inserted to a chart.

One workaround is to manually create a chart with dummy data series which are hidden as required. Then bulk load symbols you want with .csy. The data series that were hidden should stay hidden.
