"Read" instrument list?

[ct]

Can I read an "instrument list"? I want to "Add" time frames in an indicator using an instrument list a user has defined .

or can I "Add" an instrument list like a would on a normal instrument using the ADDDATASERIES?? I doubt it but thought I would at least ask. I can dream.

Cheers

Hello Cliff,

Thanks for your post.

The AddDataSeries() method could be used to add additional timeframes/instruments to your script. The instrument parameter used for AddDataSeries() must be hard-coded and cannot be dynamic. Dynamic includes user-defined properties.

This is noted on the AddDataSeries() help guide page: Arguments supplied to AddDataSeries() should be hardcoded and NOT dependent on run-time variables which cannot be reliably obtained during State.Configure (e.g., Instrument, Bars, or user input). Attempting to add a data series dynamically is NOT guaranteed or supported and therefore should be avoided.

Understood on the AddDataSeries. I assume i can't read or get the data for an instrument list as well.

Hello ct,

Thanks for your note.

Are you referring to calling AddDataSeries() and passing in an Instrument List into the method?

If that is what you are referring to then no this would not be supported as it would be considered dynamically loading additional data series. AddDataSeries() would need to be called for each instrument you want to load additional data for and the instrument parameter would need to be hard-coded into the AddDataSeries() method.

We have an existing feature request for tracking interest in the ability for dynamic handling/loading of additional data series when using AddDataSeries() and I have added your vote. This request is being tracked under the number SFT-882.

As with all feature requests, interest is tracked before implementation is considered, so we cannot offer an ETA or promise of fulfillment. If implemented, it will be noted in the Release Notes page of the Help Guide.

Thank you for adding me to the request list for that enhancement.
