In order to make the eSignal Index list more useful for our customers, we've added a new column that references the source of each index. If the source is underlined (representing an active link), you can go directly to the Exchange that produces that Index to see its components and, in some cases, the calculation methodology. If the source is not underlined, we were unable to find an explanation for that Index. Please contact the respective Exchange if you need more information on that Index.
We calculate quite a few of the Indices ourselves and those are referenced to eSignal. In some cases, if eSignal is underlined, you can click to see an explanation of how we calculate that index. If there is no link, that information is not available yet.
