Hi,
If you're looking for their tickers, what data provider do you plan to use? For Yahoo, here's a list:
https://finance.yahoo.com/world-indices/
For other vendors you would have to find such lists on their websites.

You can access data, the BarHistory, for any symbol to use in a C# strategy using the GetHistory statement.
If your using Building Blocks, drop the Qualifier > Indicator Symbol on an indicator condition.
We could help more if we knew precisely what you need to do, and if you're using C# or Blocks.

In the DataSet menu on the left I have only companies included in the index (SP 100 for example in the screen shot), but I want to select index itself
For example I can select ADBE but I cannot select US 100 itself
These DataSets should not include the index symbols. Please see Post #1 for direction on getting them.
In Build 14 we'll add a "Major U.S. and world indices" DataSet to the World Indices group.
Eugene would you mind listing the relevant symbols here? It might help the original poster.
^IXIC is the symbol for Nasdaq as per topic title. And the S&P 100 index symbol is ^OEX. Both are Yahoo specific symbols, of course.
Thanks for your response but there is no ^IXIC or ^OEX in the builtin Datasets, and when I add ^IXIC to my dataset I have "Could not obtain historical data for ..."
You've created an Unlinked DataSet. These symbols are Yahoo! specific and will return this error if "Yahoo" is not enabled on the Data Manager's Historical Providers tab (as currently is in your case). An alternative to checking "Yahoo" is to create a Yahoo DataSet.
Thanks I found it !!!!

Good to know it's finally happening.
Incidentally, when I made a similar request over a month ago (https://www.wealth-lab.com/Discussion/Core-Indices-Dataset-6295) it was hastily declined.

What you were proposing is a diverse group of symbols which belong to various asset classes and require obtaining (and maintaining) the data at the very least. The DataSet being added is comprised of hardcoded Yahoo symbols for major stock indices and implies zero maintenance. That's the (big) difference.
With Build 14, meet "Major U.S. and world indices" DataSet at the bottom of the World Indices group.
