I am writing an intraday data capture program and would like
to have the following information in order to design the database
structure (I am not very familiar with the US financial stuff).
- What is the max length of an asset symbol ?
- Could you find two assets with the same symbol but of different types
and/or from different exchanges ? I mean is each symbol unique ?
- Is a database of all the US symbols/company names available for download ?
- I found a problem using a reqMktData call with the INTEL symbol (INTC)
probably because of symbol problems or because some more information
is missing. Do you know why ?
When the program is finished I will make the source code available if
someone is interested.
Thanks in advance.
Louis.
