Stocks Listed on Non-US Exchanges

How to handle Stocks Listed on Non-US Exchanges

If an asset is listed on Yahoo Finance, it's supported by your smol trading tools .

For US listed securities, simply entering the ticker you are trading (e.g., AAPL) will automatically identify the correct asset.

For securities listed on exchanges outside of the US, you may need to add the suffix Yahoo has assigned to the exchange (e.g., GLXY.TO will be recognized as a stock listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange, in this case Galaxy Digital Holdings).

If you don't want to have to use a ticker with a suffix in your Trade Log, you can make a special assignation. For example, if I want to simply use GLXY in my Trade Log, I'll go to the Special Assignations table, enter GLXY in column A and GLXY.TO in column B.

I can also search for the correct asset code without having to look it up on Yahoo's site: click in the cell in column B and go to Insert > Formula > Stock Quote. This will bring up a pop up with a search field where I can simply start typing the name of the asset I want to assign to the ticker. Select the correct asset, then I make sure I choose "Symbol" rather than "Price" in the pop-up.

The special assignation as been made. I can now enter trades for GLXY as I normally would, and the tracker will know to match the ticker "GLXY" to the Galaxy Digital Holdings asset. I can see that the correct asset now displays in my Holdings table.

Special Assignation for GLXY

If you are trading securities that are not denominated in USD, you may want to change your portfolio's primary currency.
