Retrieve list of instruments for all stocks on an exchange

Greetings

I wish to perform breadth analysis on an exchange. How would I go about getting a list of all issues/stocks on an exchange that I need to query?

Regards, and thank you

  • You can do so by using on of the COM APIs RSearch (here is the tutorial and the related download). Your asset class in this case will be "EQUITY", and the search criteria look like this (for example, London Stock Exchange):

    "ExchangeCode: 'LSE' IsPrimaryQuote:Yes"

    The result will be the full list of shares traded on LSE.
