How to use this template

Simple usage

Type the following, replacing XXXX with the company's stock symbol:

{{lse|XXXX}}

Example:

{{lse|BARC}}

By entering only the stock symbol, it will not provide a direct link to the stock listing. Instead you will be redirected to a search form. To get a direct link you must use the four way key.

London Stock Exchange four way key (preferred)

The London Stock Exchange four way key is a unique identifier for a stock listing. It is a combination of the ISIN, the market segment, the country of register and currency.

You can find it by looking at the URL of stock on http://www.londonstockexchange.com/.

If the four way key is known you can enter as follows:

{{lse|BARC|fourway=GB0031348658GBGBXSET0}}
