COT Index Modification

[jordanq2]

Edit 2: SOLVED. I was able to fix my errors and mkae it so it plots NonReportable, Commercials, and Specs seperately. Sorry for the wall of text. Thanks

EDIT: I was able to fetch the data and plot the NonReportables, though it is only plotting when I have CommercialSpeculators checked. Its plotting both at the same time rather than NonReportables by itself.

Hello, I have been using the COT index attached to do my analysis, though wanted to add the Non reportables to this indicator as well. The NonCommercials and Commercials work perfectly but I am stumped on why i cant get the Non reportables to show up and plot. I am not sure if it's not fetching the data or plotting correctly. Mind you, I am brand new at this and trying to start off with a simple project. Below is the full code I am using and added to try and get the Nonreportables to plot. Looking for advice on how I can get this to work. Thanks.

Hi jordanq2,

I am alos trying to plot the NonReportables, unfortunately its only plotting a straight line here.

I assume there is no data fetched, could you please share you knowledge about how to fetch the right data?

Thanks a lot,

Greetings
