Symbol Lookup - Index
The Index tab searches and finds the desired indexes based on the criteria you select.
Access using the Data > Add Symbol menu sequence and click Lookup. You can also use the Main toolbar and click the Symbol Lookup 
icon.
The following methods are available to search for index symbols:
- All Index - Searches for all indexes within the selected country.
- Common Index - Searches by using all common indexes.
- TradeStation Native Index - Searches TradeStation's natively computed indexes that are calculated by the TradeStation Network.
- Description - Searches by description for the desired index. The Description option searches for symbol descriptions that contain the letter(s) that you entered as search criteria.
- Symbol Root - Searches for the actual index symbol. This setting searches for symbols that begin with the letter(s) that you enter as search criteria. For example, if you enter C as your search criteria, the search will return all symbols that begin with C, such as Corn and Cotton but not Coffee (KC).
The wildcard character "*" can be used to list all descriptions or all symbol roots.
The following filter settings are used to refine the search criteria:
- Country - Searches for index symbols associated by country (United States, Germany, or All Countries). For example KO (Coca Cola) contains different list of symbols for United States vs. Germany. By default, United States is the selected Country.
