Are there any sid's for indicies like FTSE, Nikkei, etc.?

Hello Nzau,

Per the Quantopian help page (see the Data Sources section) and feedback on this forum, the current database does not have indices. However, corresponding ETF's are available as sid's. For example, a google search on "ftse etf" returns some relevant hits.

EWU, EWJ, etc. Unless you need longer histories these ishares could do. There are a few behavioral differences between these etfs and the indexes they track, but that's if you really are digging into the details.

Thanks. The idicies would be preferred, but these ETFs get the job done.
