Accessing MarketAnalyzer Column...

[funk101]

Is it possible to access the "Instrument" column in MarketAnalyzer from another column? For instance, I'm interested in creating a "Spread" column between two different instruments. The "first" instrument will be selected by the default NT Instrument Selection process, the second instrument will be derived by accessing the name in the first column, and automatically populate the second column (Instrument2).

For example, if the first column is "ZC 07-16" the second column (Instrument2) will be "ZC 12-16". Then I can AddSeries() and be on my way.

Hello funk101,

Thank you for your post.

There would not be a means to do this in a Market Analyzer Column. You may consider using an indicator, but then you would need to enter in the secondary series as a variable.
