Hi,

I looked up Toyota on Yahoo Japan's site and get the ticker 7203.T (which works for Yahoo Japan) and put it into wealthlab but it doesn't return any info. Yahoo Japan is a different company from Yahoo elsewhere so maybe this is the reason it doesn't work.

I tried to put the Japanese ticker into Yahoo.com but it doesn't work.

Is there a different root ticker or something I am missing?

If not, what would the most frequently used Japanese free data source be for WL?

Thanks

This FAQ explains how to determine if a symbol is supported:

FAQ | Data and Data Providers > Is it possible to get the futures data from Yahoo?

The site the provider is based on (http://finance.yahoo.com, U.S. version) doesn't recognize the ticker (7203.T not found). Once a symbol is found, verify that its side menu contains the "Historical Prices" link. Otherwise it's not supported. You can search Y! U.S. website for a related ticker which may be supported.

For example, here's what I came up with by simply typing the first letters of "Japan" into our search-as-you-type field:
