TradeStation International Data Symbology

The symbology for TradeStation international data (non-US stock, options and index symbols) makes use of a country code added in front of the industry standard symbol. For U.S. symbols, no country code is required, although a US: prefix may be used, if desired, to explicitly refer to United Status symbols.

 Refer to the following items for syntax rules and examples.
