Access to CRSP Indicies CRSPTMT and CRSPTM1?

New user here.

I would like to chart/access the indices published by the Center for Research in Securities Prices (CRSP), but I am unable to find them in the symbol catalog. I know I can create my own custom index from historical data, but that seems like a lot of work to maintain the index, and real-time data wouldn't be available for use.

There are many large funds linked to these indices. Specifically, the Vanguard Total Market ETF and Mual Funds are centered around the CRSP Total Market Indices. That's a total of almost One Trillion Dollars in assets (pre-2020 crash).

Can someone help me figure out how to access these indices (CRSPTMT and CRSPTM1) in SharpCharts?

    If you have been searching on the symbols only, e.g. CRSPTMT, you could try searching keywords in the index name instead, like Total or Total Market. Most indexes in SC begin with a $ sign, if that helps.

    If they absolutely aren't there, you could lobby for them by submitting a suggestion to Support.
