Using a variable in the Add() funciton

[heyligerb]

Hi everyone...

Is is possible to use a variable in the "Add" function? I'd like the instrument in the Add function to use the instrument selected when the strategy is activated. Is that possible?

// Add a 1-min interval for the current strategy
Add("ZB 06-09", PeriodType.Minute, 1);

So... in the above the "ZB 06-09" would have been pulled from the "instrument" field when applying the strategy.

Thanks,

Brian

You just omit that parameter and it will add different time period for instrument currently on the chart
Add(PeriodType.Minute, 1);
