Market Tickers

Format: [TICKER].[EXCHANGE]

Examples:

• AAPL (NASDAQ)
• PETR4.SA (São Paulo Stock Exchange)
• ^SPX, ^VIX (Indices)
• EURUSD=X (Currency pair)
• BTC-USD (Crypto)

This is the format that most finance sites use, so a code from a quote page usually works here. The ticker field also suggests codes while you type.

Common exchange suffixes: .L (London), .DE (Xetra), .PA (Paris), .AS (Amsterdam), .MI (Milan), .MC (Madrid), .LS (Lisbon), .BR (Brussels), .SW (Switzerland), .TO (Toronto), .AX (Australia), .T (Tokyo), .HK (Hong Kong), .SS (Shanghai), .SZ (Shenzhen), .TW (Taiwan), .KS (Korea), .NS (India), .MX (Mexico), .BA (Buenos Aires), .SN (Santiago) and .SA (São Paulo).

• For U.S. stocks, the ticker is typically used without an exchange suffix (e.g., AAPL for Apple Inc.).
• International stocks often include an exchange suffix (e.g., PETR4.SA for Petrobras on the São Paulo Stock Exchange).
• Currency pairs use the "=X" suffix (e.g., EURUSD=X for Euro to US Dollar exchange rate).
• Indices use the "^" prefix (e.g., ^SPX for the S&P 500, or ^SP500TR for the S&P 500 with dividends, the default market benchmark).
• Crypto uses the "-" pair format (e.g., BTC-USD for Bitcoin in US Dollars).
• ETFs and mutual funds follow the same rules as stocks.

Stock and ETF prices are adjusted for splits and dividends, so the results show total return. To quote a ticker in another currency, or to buy a fraction of an expensive asset, see Modifiers.
