    FTSE 100 Index?

    I have just changed from EOD to intraday data with QuoteCenter.   I have the European data and North American data packages.  However I went to look in the "Indices" folder expecting to find the FTSE 100 index and it seems to not be there.  There also seem to be many of the LSE sector indices missing.  Have I missed something?  The FTSE 100 index is one of my main markets so I need to find it somewhere.

    The FTSE 100 Index is .FTSE and should be in the Symbol Database.  There are a large number of FTSE indices that all start with .FT

    Thanks for the reply.  I think I have found the problem which is with me as I suspected.  I need to creat a new symbol in the Indices file I believe.  I have never needed to do this before.  The Indices folder only contains the FTSE 30 index together with 5 FTSE 350 sector indices.  The FTSE 100 is not included but I have added it and the data now loads.  I wonder why this index was not included in the standard symbols.  Seems an important one to me.

    Oh I apologize, I missed that you had switched to QuoteCenter.  Unfortunately there are a few common indices that are missing from the built-in symbol database.  gb;FTSE is one of them I believe.  If you contact support @ equis.com you can request that we send you a custom symbol file of these common QuoteCenter Indices.
