SID for market indices?

I've seen an 'ad hoc' list of SIDs for generic $ volume securities, but what is the list of SIDs for market indices? I'm specifically looking for the SOX SID...

Thanks,

Mark

Hello Mark,

There are no indices, just tradeable securities in the database. So, you could try the ETF SOXX (http://www.ishares.com/us/products/239705/ishares-phlx-semiconductor-etf). Fetcher is also an option, which would allow you to import actual market index data from your own source.
