Stock Manager Plugin for SageTV7

[markds]

as DMT above pointed out
INDU (for djia) is working with the stock manager plugin

I don't know if anyone is still paying attention to this plugin - I hadn't checked mine in a while - and I still can't get the Dow to show up, and it doesn't seem to update automatically when I first click in (as I thought it used to do).

The initial "^DJI" that comes as a default does not work, and the suggested replacement "INDU" doesn't work for me either. Does it work for anyone else? Also, what are people using for NASDAQ and S&P500?

Curious to hear if others are still using this with no issues.

I'm not using this plugin but you should be able to use:

Dow .INDU (note the dot)
S&P .SPX or .SPXUT
NASDAQ COMPO

All the usual(s) for the dow jones indus av do not work (INDU, .IMDU, ^DJA, ^DJIA, ^DJI2MN). This all has to do with the licensing agreement that the NYSE wanted to enforce for each and every user of the index being pushed into any ticker service. It was the reason we did not see the MSN stock ticker that we had in Vista and Win7 Beta make it into the Win7 RTM.

The work around is to use the closest most active futures contract from the CBOT.
Currently March. DJH12.CBT (H being Mar - 12 being year).

The most active(s) during the trading year are Mar (H) Jun (M) Sep (U) and Dec (Z). It will not be the same number as the cash index but will track the relative movements. The rest of the months alphabet symbols can be had on any futures information type web page but the closest month to expiration is not the most active.
