Exchange and universe scope
Updated 31 October 2026 · 2 min read · 10 Contents
Plain-language meaning
Exchange scope identifies the actual listing, currency, session calendar and available source coverage. The same ticker text can refer to different securities or venues.
Where it appears #
The selector affects dashboards, search, screeners, details, official data, watchlists, portfolios and regional research routes.
Step-by-step workflow #
1. Select exchange. 2. Confirm country/currency. 3. Search. 4. Verify suffix or venue label. 5. Check source coverage. 6. Keep the exchange attached when saving or sharing.
Worked example #
SHOP on TSX is CAD and SHOP on a U.S. venue is USD. BRK.B contains an intrinsic dot; a provider suffix must not corrupt it. LSE 250 GBp equals GBP 2.50.
How to interpret the result #
An empty result can mean provider-required coverage, not zero listed companies. Currency and price scale are identity, not formatting. Cross-listed prices can legitimately differ.
Limitations and common mistakes #
Never infer exchange from company name or ticker suffix alone, borrow an NSE row for BSE, or treat registry presence as proof of complete ingestion.
Market-specific differences #
Supported equity venues are NSE, BSE, NASDAQ, NYSE, AMEX, LSE, TSX, TSXV, ASX, XETRA, Euronext, Madrid, Milan, Stockholm, Copenhagen, Helsinki, Oslo, Vienna, HKEX, SGX, B3, TSE and KRX. BSE uses exact scrip/ISIN identity; TSE carries its market class; KRX carries KOSPI/KOSDAQ/KONEX class; TSX and TSXV remain separate; LSE uses pence quote scale; B3 quotes in BRL.
