Is there a way to use Lookup to show all ticker symbols and description for a specific exchange?
I tried a few different ways, but all lookups came back empty. I am specifically trying to find a list of all Canadian stocks. Thanks

It would be possible to get a list from the symbol lookup but the recommended method for obtaining a large list of symbols like that would be to use our symbol file we publish on our website here:

http://www.dtniq.com/product/mktsymbols_v2.zip

This file contains all symbols we carry and includes everything you would need to filter out the canadians. Additionally, we put a C. at the beginning of all canadian symbols so they should all be grouped together in the file.
