Hi all,
I would like to add several securities to an indicator. These securities are not shown on the chart.
To be more specific: I would like to compare volume of SPY (on the chart) to volumn of ES front future. I need to access to /ES in the indicator. I could not figure out, how to do that. Any pointers?
Thx in advance

Re: Add additional securities to indicator
Hello Ranguy,
The securities can be added on a chart, but not to an indicator.
It is possible to get volume of bars by means of an indicator, for example with Volume indicator.
If you want to compare a parameter of several symbols, you need to build a chart with several data series.
Please use Data keyword to refer to different data series, for example:

Code: Select all
var: v1(0);
var: v2(0);
v1 = volume data1;
v2 = volume data2;Re: Add additional securities to indicator
Thx for your answer
Still, I run in an error. Here is the situation
I have a chart with SPY and want to add ES future
When I try to add ES future, it tells me "Instruments from different time zones cannot be mixed. Please select local Time Zone for all instruments"
I have done that in the QuoteManager > Edit Symbol > SEssions > Local > Added ther very sames local Open & Close times.
How can I fix that?

Please change the time zone on a chart in Format -> Instrument -> Settings -> Time Zone.

I need to add several instruments to get the data for my indicator (5 Future contracts). Is there a way to hide this data on the chart? (So the chart is cleaner)
The only thing I have found is format instrument > style > chart type > invisible. However, I would like to remove the whole data series from being visible (while the data remains available for use in indicators)

"Invisible" is the way to do it.
If you need to use the data, you must have it on the chart, whether visible or not.

currently I have
Chart; inside the chart I have:
[Main data series]
[indicator 1]
[indicator 2]
[Support data series of additional instrument needed for indicator 3]
[indicator 3]
I can make the candles (or what ever you have) on the support data series "invisible". However, I still have the an empty part on the screen.
The last thing is to just minimize the support data series area. This seems like a work around... especially, if you have many additional data series on the chart.
Can anyone pls confirm that this is the only way to hide data series?
