- Please reach out to Acuity/Signal Centre with your list of asset names, so that this mapping process could be completed. As many brokers have their own versions of asset name, these assets need to be mapped to Acuity/Signal Centre assets. If this mapping is not done, the expert advisor does not know which assets to display.
