Market Analyzer - Column Totals

[murthymsr]

Market analyzer has the facility to show totals.
Is the total value of a column available as a built-in variable to be used in indicator development? (What is the variable name?)

This total value will be greatly helpful in developing market wide indicators. If not available, can the same be provided?

Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the suggestion murthymsr, unfortunately the totals are not accessible programmatically, but they could be build for example from a MultiSeries script.

Is there any workaround to this limitation?

It would be a really big bonus for Money Management purposes to be able to access the total PnL when you have multiple strategies running. Then you can designate you overall Profit Target and Stop Loss for the day programmatically to shut off your strategies. It is hard to believe that an output tracked by your own system is really inaccessible...

We welcome your input and enhancement suggestion DrBen, we added it to our tracking system with # 773.

As a current workaround you could save the individual strategies PnL to text files for example and then combine as needed in your custom code.

Thanks Bertrand, for indicating the Tracking system #, while accepting a suggestion.

This practice may be followed for all future accepted suggestions also.

This will help all users whenever any new version is released.

Hi Bertrand, thanks for your quick reply. I sincerely hope that this does not mean that there are 772 issues pending before you can tackle this one :-).

Just to make sure, this function should track PnL of all running strategies, not just SIM 101.

Thanks,

DrBen

That's what I understood DrBen, the # does not indicate any priorities / ranking though - it's an internally used reference number.
