indicator as variable

[e-man]

enjoyed the webinar on wednesday and looking fwd to getting the public beta next week ... you guys have done some incredible work!

i know this doesn't work in 6.5, but was curious to know if you can call Add() or Plot.Set() in 7.0 and pass in a string variable (eg. "SMA(10)[0]" or "MACD(12, 6, 9)[0]")?

Thanks. No you can not.

realizing this will definitely not make the list for the first 7.x release, would you mind throwing it on the "wishlist" pile ...

what i had in mind was parsing an array of indicators, but there would have to be a method to check/validate that the indicator existed, all parms were passed in appropriately, etc. ... certainly not a 20m patch
