How to add stocks from other exchanges to the Stocks app?

You can add other stock exchanges. I have added Nikkei 225 (Japan) and stocks of other companies.

If you want to add another index you have to use the ^ sign first

i added the Australian All Ordinaries which is ^AORD

Just add .ax after the Australian stock. So for BBI, use BBI.AX The iPod Touch will start listing likely stocks once you have enough of the stock code typed in.

anyone knows how to add nikkei stocks?

Does anyone know the code for the Toronto Stock Exchange is?

The stocks app uses the Yahoo Finance codes.

To use stocks from other exchanges, you add that exchange's suffix to the stock ID. This page lists the current exchanges:

Example:
France Telecom
Stock ID is FTE in NYSE
Stock ID is FTE.PA in Paris

To track an index you can find them here

Example:
The London Financial Times Stock Exchange top 100 is ^FTSE

Select to convert 1 US dollar to UK (British) pounds, click Convert and the result provides the ID (symbol) USDGBP=X
