Create Historical Custom Symbol List

Historical Custom Symbol Lists provides the flexibility needed when rebalancing of symbol lists from indexes and exchanges take place. For example, a top 100 index periodically reviews and compares its components, and re-ranks all eligible companies. As a result, adjustments are made and the components that rated in the top 100 are retained in their Index. By creating a historical custom symbol list from prior years, the symbol list is saved historically which can be used for comparison for present and future analysis.
