http== Adding Symbol(s) to Symbol List ==To start working with a symbol, the symbol must be added to the symbol list. Adding can be done manually or from a list, downloaded from the data vendor.  Adding symbols manually is appropriate when the exact symbol name is known and the list of symbols is not available from the data vendor. For instance, with DDE there is no way to download a list, and the user is supposed to know the exact name for the query.  In all other cases, adding symbols manually is <i>not recommended</i>, as parameters in addition to the symbol name may be required by the <i>data vendor</i>. When a symbol is added from a list, provided by the data vendor, all required parameters are set automatically.  For details on specific data vendor symbols, see [[:Category:Built-in_Data_Sources|Built-in Datafeeds]]<br> === Adding Symbol from Data Vendor Supplied List ===To add a symbol: # Open '''QuoteManager''' window#* see [[:Category:QuoteManager#Opening QuoteManager|how]]# On the '''Instrument''' menu, select '''Add Symbol'''. # Select '''From Data Source'''. # Choose a data source from the '''Data Source '''list; the '''Insert Symbols into Portfolio''' window will open.<br>If a data vendor is not in the list: #* data source does not support a symbol list (the symbol must be [[Operating_Symbol_List#Adding Symbols in Manual Mode|added manually]]) #* data source is currently deactivated (the data source should be [[Operating_Data_Sources#Activating Data Sources|activated]]) #* data source is not supported ([[:Category:Built-in_Data_Sources|Built-in Datafeeds]] should be used).# Select a tab, corresponding to the type of symbol to be added. # Enter all or part of the symbol name into the '''Symbol''' box and click '''Lookup'''.<br><div style="background-color: #E3FBE5;">Note: Additional search options may be available depending on data source selected.</div># Select the desired symbol(s). # Click '''Add'''.
