    Refer to instrument in indicator

    I need some assistance. Let's say that I want to create a custom indicator that calculates "aapl close[0] / msft close[0]" and plots it. I understand how to plot, but what I don't understand is how to refer to specific a instrument in the code.

    My intention is to create a custom breadth indicator, but I don't know how to refer to $ADVN and $DECN in the code.

    I appreciate any help or guidance on this. Thanks.


    *** Edit

    Code:
            protected override void Initialize()
            {
                Add(new Plot(Color.FromKnownColor(KnownColor.Orange), PlotStyle.Line, "Breadth"));
                Add(new Plot(Color.FromKnownColor(KnownColor.Green), PlotStyle.Line, "MA"));
                Add(new Plot(Color.FromKnownColor(KnownColor.DarkViolet), PlotStyle.Line, "Diff"));
                Add(new Line(Color.FromKnownColor(KnownColor.DarkOliveGreen), 0, "Zero"));
                CalculateOnBarClose    = true;
                Overlay                = false;
                PriceTypeSupported    = false;
                Add("AAPL", PeriodType.Minute, 5);
            }
    What am I doing wrong here? I get "No overload for method 'Add' takes '3' arguments" error for the last Add (with AAPL). Are there not 3 arguments already?
