Is it possible to reference data number as an input?

Postby tcat » 26 Jan 2011

I am working with several instruments which get different data numbers. I was wondering if it was possible to specify the data number as an input to an indicator, in order to prevent duplication of indicators.

Dear Thierry,

Yes it is possible:

Code: Select all

input: data_num(2);
plot1(average(close, 10), of data(data_num));

Excellent!
Thanks Dave, I tried a few things but missed that way of doing things. A real time saver!

Cheers,
Thierry
