How can I extract the ticker from the symbol column........ I went with the first 3-4 letters but it doesnt match what I get from the stock_list list.
THanks in advance for your help

If stock_list is a list of symbol object instead of the string ticker, the symbol index in the history data frame will be the string format of symbol object because Python dataframe can only take the string index not object. You can filter those symbol object in the data frame with
h2 = self.History(stock_list, 1, Resolution.Minute) # get the symbol index in dataframe symbols_in_df = h2.index.levels[0] symbols = [i for i in stock_list if str(i) in symbols_in_df]Stephane b
