  I wonder if SF can do the following upgrade in the future? I want to add index symbols into "apply to symlist()" but it does not work. For instance, in the below example, it works if I use the ETF symbols (e.g. QQQ) but not when I change it to the underlying indices (e.g. ^IXIC). I think it is important because sometimes ETF has long spikes which distort the data.
 
  	    
 
 Similarly, I wonder if, again in the future, SF can include spot price of commodities like oil and gold:

  fyi from a recent response from SF Support:
 
 " StockFetcher does not include indices in results due to the lack of volume availability"
 
 However, I discovered that if you click on one of the filter results charts it takes you to a larger chart version in which you can replace the symbol with an index symbol such as ^Vix, and click the CHART button and SF wii display a ^Vix chart with all of your filters draw lines on it.
 
 Hope this helps,
 Ed S.
