Hello,

I cannot load a chart for the Nasdaq Composite using barchart symbols.

I see the symbol here https://www.barchart.com/stocks/quotes/$NASX/overview, but when I enter that as the chart symbol I got the following error:

Download Failed Error downloading historical daily data for $NASX. Error: user is not authorized to execute query for one or more of the specified symbols

Other barchart symbols seem to work fine for example another one I picked $SSCO.

Appreciate any help you can provide for this, I am trying to load the daily chart for the Nasdaq Composite.

This data is not available. NASDAQ charges a lot of money to access that data. It is just simply not available at this time.

We will consider offering it in the future.
