I have been battling for over a week now, trying to work out which ticker codes in MetaStock Reuters Datalink are for S&P (US market)

Sector Ticker Codes
Industry Group Ticker Codes
Industry Ticker Codes
Sub-Industry Ticker Codes

There is just thousands of ticker index codes with many looking like they duplicates.

Can someone help me find out what these Reuters codes are? I am using Metastock 11

Kind Regards

I guess Reuters Datalink uses RIC codes? The best way to find them I have found is to look at the index vendors website. They normally list Reuters and Bloomberg codes in their fact sheets or in some cases have a downloadable spreadsheet with codes for all their indices.

For example, the S&P 500 Sector Indices factsheet is here, which has the codes - http://eu.spindices.com/documents/factsheets/fs-sp-500-sector-indices-ltr.pdf?force_download=true

A few others:
MSCI indices can be found here - http://www.msci.com/products/indices/tools/tickers/
FTSE indices are here (Excel spreadsheet) - http://www.ftse.com/Indices/FTSE_Real-Time_Vendor_Codes/Downloads/FTSE_Real_Time_Vendor_Codes_.xls
STOXX indices (Excel spreadsheet) - http://www.stoxx.com/download/stoxx_indices.xls
