Hi guys

How can I best download historical S&P 500 Index price data? I need the index data, not the ETF data.
On the stocks page, I can download ETF price data, but not the index. "Could not find ticker: $SP500. Neither does ^SPX or similar symbols work.

Thanks

thank you for your help. I typically also use Yahoo. This time I wanted to see if there is way within P123.

Create any custom series with S&P 500 as the benchmark.
For example 1-month moving average of S&P 500:
LoopAvg(“BenchClose(CTR)”,21)

Create chart. Rebalance daily. Download data.
