However this way has been leaving 119 US stocks with "invalid symbols" Upon digging further, lets take Juniper Networks. On Yahoo finance the symbol is JNPR. On my two different stockbrokers (one a PRIME broker) the symbol is JNPR. Even on NYSE.com the symbol is JNPR. However on the Equis network the symbol is JNPR.K. This appears to be the case with all 119 stocks, an extra letter .O or .K This is totally unworkable from a trading point of view and ridiculous that your symbols are DIFFERENT from even the major exchanges these stocks trade on. I send baskets of orders to my brokers - this cannot be done if the symbols are not correct! So please will you look at the list below and remove the .K / .O from them all so they are in line with the rest of the world?!

This is the same format used with Thomson Reuters products sold to Brokerages and Banks. The RIC is a ticker symbol followed by an exchange code. Originally, all NYSE symbols were 3 letters or less and all NASDAQ symbols were 4 or 5 letters. As such, the Downloader automatically appended the .O or .K for those exchanges. However, with that rule no longer being in effect, the .O and .K have to manually added to the symbols that do not follow the older standard. I realize this may cause an inconvience with some automated processes. We felt the access to the world wide data offer by Thomson Reuters was an acceptable trade off for the few symbols affected. We are monitoring this as more symbols cause exceptions, it is possible some change may be sought. However we are currently bound to the RIC format.
