I just signed up and tried to add my Canadian stocks to a portfolio, but they don’t come up when I try to add them. What’s the trick?

I live in Canada, I don't like the fact that I can't enter Canadian ticker symbols.

Since SA is focused on hosting data for only US-listed securities, you will not find stocks of other geographies.
We will be introducing data on Canadian securities soon.
In the meantime, just type in the name of the stock. If the same is listed in the US, via OTC markets or as ADS/ADR, you will find the same.

Hope this helps, Feel free to reach out in case further assistance is required.

Just type in the name of the stock and almost all of mine are recognized. type the name of the company not the ticker as SA has a weird syntax which I could not figure out until now!!
