Input Series Code

[Diego Aburto]

Hi,

What's the code for adding the "Input Series" button to a field (Please see attached)?

Thanks,

Hello Diego Aburto,.

You always have the option to add an additional data series using:

Add(string instrumentName, PeriodType periodType, int period)

However, the input series for a strategy or indicator is always selected by the chart.
It is not possible to change the primary input series for a script or change the input series for a script through the code.

But you can add any secondary series you would like and do your calculations off of the secondary series.


When you are calling an indicator from a strategy, you can supply the input series you would like.

IndicatorName(IDataSeries input)[int barsAgo]

For example with the SMA if I wanted an SMA of the High.
Print(SMA(High, 14)[0]);
