Has stockcharts.com changed symbol for $RUT?

    Posted by curtis on 4th of Oct 2010 at 12:26 pm

    In addition to GDX and other things, I mainly look at the 5 min. stockcharts.com charts of $SPX and $RUT, and the 15 min. of each with all 4 stochastics, refreshing throughout the day, sometimes these charts look cleaner and easier to see going through 20 or 80 on various stochastics, or seeing divergences than even TS charts.  Today all the RUT charts stopped working for stockcharts.com, on every timeframe...even daily (did a search and tried every link or non-SC member address I could find posted from the last few months), so wondering if they changed their symbol for the Russell 2000?  Anyone know?

    Just found this in a thread at TS:

    Data for this index is now being disseminated under the symbol $RUT instead of $RUT.X.

    Thank you,

    He later states in another post that you have to have Nasdaq real-time data there to get this new Russell 2000 symbol data.
