Post From: How to search for a symbol with the SC Data-All Services

Questions:

I saw these symbols: http://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/SierraChart_RealTime_And_Historical_Symbols.php&SymbolsPage=Indices#OtherWorldIndexes

For "SC Data - All Services" - I also saw under "Find Symbol" --> "CFD" a few more symbols internationally.

Using for example the Hong Kong Hang Seng Index, they are not identical ... additionally, the "HSY0" does not have volume while the "HKG33" does. The HSY0 seems to be more closely resembles other free data sources (e.g. Bloomberg, CNBC, etc.)

Questions:
1. What exactly is "CFD"?
2. The above link to "OtherWorldIndexes", are you planning to expand the coverage? The current 6 is adequate but why are they not listed under "Find Symbol"?
3. A request: Can you implement a search function under "Find Symbol"?
